Akpoborie tips Eze for greatness




Stephen Eze


Former Nigerian international, Jonathan Akpoborie, is confident that Lobi Stars central defender, Stephen Eze, will achieve greatness as a footballer.

Eze, who is in his first year as a professional, learnt his trade at the club’s youth team, Lobi Stars Feeders, which campaign in the amateur class.

Former Lobi Stars gaffer, Dominic Iorfa, eventually approved Eze’s elevation from the developmental team to the first team for top flight action after his impressive performance in the amateur class.

“Eze is an intelligent young defender who needs to be guided and transformed into a big star. Having watched him during matches for his team, I’m convinced he’ll attract attention.

“I learnt he trained with the Under-20 team.

“With his height, he should easily take care of aerial balls. Every coach will be glad to have a player like him in the defence,” Akpoborie, who played football in the German Bundesliga, said to supersport.com.

Eze made his Premier League debut at Bayelsa United on matchday one and scored his first goal against Enugu Rangers on matchday eight
