Nigeria stand to benefit from Leganes' Awaziem-Omeruo partnership

The Super Eagles centre-backs have linked up in Spain, and could potentially rival the long-standing pairing of Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong

Chidozie Awaziem’s loan move to Leganes may have seen him depart Portuguese giants FC Porto for a lesser side in Spain, but it should be for the best as he probably wasn’t going to get the necessary game time for Sergio Conceicao’s side had he remained with the Dragons.

Be that as it may, a place in Mauricio Pellegrino’s team isn't guaranteed, given the level of competition he has to face at the Cucumber Growers.
