Former Super Eagles striker, Yakubu Aiyegbeni has described as a useful venture the upcoming international club friendly between one of his erstwhile teams, Everton and Gor Mahia of Kenya.
Yakubu, who sports247.ng learnt was a commentator in the stands when both sides met last year in Tanzania, is of a view that the latest clash between Everton and Gor Mahia will be rewarding for both sets of players on either side.
However, ‘Yak’ was mostly conscious of what he believes would be the attendant benefits for the lads from Kenya, as he believes they would be able to market themselves at Goodison Park on Tuesday.
‘Yak Attack’ noted that Liverpool chief scout, Barry Hunter will be at the game, alongside six agents, and the Nigerian ex-international says they would sign at least one of the Kenyan players.
Yakubu stressed: ”It’s a great opportunity for these guys to come all the way from Kenya and they will never get this kind of opportunity in life.
”They should take it and make it count. It won’t be easy but it is a chance that so many people who played football all their lives never had even to leave their country.
”This is a great experience for these young boys to learn and they need to take it because they might never get it in their lives.
”They need more determination than ever to give everything though it might just be a friendly game.”
