Ikechukwu Jude talks about scouting in Africa

Ikechukwu Jude remembers seeing David Okereke play soccer in the streets of Lagos. He knew early on that the striker, who now plays for Cremonese in Serie A, was special. Jude told his friend about Okereke and “the rest is history.”

“It is a point of pride to me, seeing him at a top 5 league in the world,” Jude told The Bent Musket.

Born in Lagos, Jude lives in the Eastern part of Nigeria and hopes to become one of the most recognized scouts in the world. He recently held a scouting event that was attended by approximately 300 players.
