English Clubs Interested In Nigerian Youngster

Birmingham City, Leyton Orient and Charlton Athletic Among Clubs Interested In Tobi Coker

SL10.ng understands that a number of English clubs not limited to Birmingham City, Leyton Orient and Charlton Athletic are mulling over a move for Anglo-Nigerian Tobi Coker.

The future of the 16-year -old midfielder remains unresolved following his departure from Millwall this summer.

Now a free agent, he has been maintaining his fitness by training with the first team of Isthmian League side Dulwich Hamlet F.C, ahead of a potential move.

“There are quite a few teams that I could go to, however I do not want to leave Millwall and go to a place worse for me, in terms of football,” Coker told SL10.ng.

“I have had trial offers from Birmingham, Leyton, Charlton and my agent has been in contact with Hull City as regards what they are willing to do.”

“I am a technical player, with the ability to find great passes and do special things. I actually gain more joy in assisting than goal scoring.

“However, I have developed a knack of scoring recently.”

Representatives of Fulham and Cardiff City are also believed to be in contact with Tobi Coker's camp, and both Championship clubs could invite him for trials in the near future.

Coker, who has cited Cesc Fabregas and David Silva as his role models, previously practiced with Chelsea, Arsenal, Charlton and Brentford, but did not receive positive feedback from the teams after tests.
