NPFL top scorer Nwankwo: My runs and goals are almost like Ronaldo

The 18-year-old who has been an integral part of the Solid Miners’ resurgence desires to play with the Red Devils

Nasarawa United’s Silas Nwankwo believes he plays like Cristiano Ronaldo and reveals Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba are the players he would most like to line up with in future.

Born on December 12, 2003, the red-hot attacking sensation currently leads the goalscoring chart of the Nigerian Professional Football League having accrued 16 goals so far.

Still in the nascent stages of his career, the prolific striker has plenty of years left in his career and he discloses that sharing a locker room with the England and France internationals would be a welcome addition to his footballing bucket list.
