Big scouts from Spocs Global Consultant are currently taking time to evaluate the talents on display at the David Okereke Scouting Tournament at the Legacy Pitch, Surulere and Desmond Tra believes Nigeria has a lot to produce.
“I’m happy to be in this country as I’ve wanted to come here for a long time. I’ve really enjoyed my stay here and I believe Nigeria is the future in everything and sports is one of the biggest part,” French scout Desmond Tra told Sports247.
“The Nigerian face is changing with new players coming and growing with a new mentality, wanting to do the exact opposite of what the former ones were doing, trying to be nice, welcoming and open and that’s why we’re here to help them by organizing this kind of tournament with our partners BG Sports,” he added.
Desmond is hopeful of taking a couple of players to start their professional careers outside the country under the same agency that manages the likes of Mohammed Salah of Liverpool and former Chelsea player, Baba Rahman, as the tournament rolls over to another day.
“Our company is the best when it comes to managing African players, we want to do more by looking for other countries to explore and Nigeria is one our biggest target. When I came for the first time in December to an academy, I was able to take one player to Sweden and that’s because I didn’t get to see many players but now we can do more,” Desmond concluded.
