Arsenal teen star Joel Ideho is in the camp of Nigeria less than 24 hours after head coach of the Nigeria U20 team Ladan Bosso said he is in the dark over his inclusion of due to his club not responding to the letter of invitation sent to them.
He arrived the camp of the team in Abuja yesterday and this time around he came ready as the documentation which denied him a spot in the team for the U20 Africa Cup of Nations has been sorted.
Ideho was at the camp of the team for the African U20 Cup of Nations and he made a huge impression on the technical crew of the team led by Ladan Bosso, but was not able to make the team for the tournament largely due to administrative issues.
As at that time, the 19 year old who was born in the Netherlands wasn’t in possession of a Nigerian passport and efforts to get him one proved abortive due to shortage of booklets at the Nigeria immigration offices.
