Enyimba
youngster Ikouwem Udoh has received a call-up to the senior national team. The
20-year-old was invited to the camp of the home-based Super Eagles side as part
of preparations for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) in January.
His invitation swells the Enyimba contingent
in the national team to five, with Theophilus Afelokhai, Nasiru Sani, Austin Oladapo
and Ibrahim Mustapha also having been called up earlier.
It marks a
remarkable rise for Ikouwem, whose first team debut with Enyimba came on the
19th of March, 2017 in a league match against ABS FC.
Promoted
from the Enyimba Feeder team at the start of the 2017 season, the left-back
made 10 league appearances for the People’s Elephants, impressing with his
speed and crossing ability. Ikouwem caught the eye at the recently concluded
NPFL Invitational, starting the first two games, one of which was against the
CHAN Eagles.
