ARSENAL TRIALS FOR NIGERIA CENTRE-BACK GODFREY OBOABONA

Arsenal have handed trials to Nigeria centre-back Godfrey Oboabona. The 22-year-old played a major role as his country won the African Nations Cup last month. Arsenal boss Wenger will now run the rule over the £1m-rated centre-back who has won 18 caps and plays for the Sunshine Stars. Oboabona said: “Arsenal are my favourite club from childhood. It is the club I want to play for.”
