Fledgling Golden Eaglets’ keeper, Dele Alampasu, will be a year older on Christmas eve (Tuesday) as the player is expected to celebrate his birthday in the Super Eagles’ camp in Abuja.
The teenage international, who was voted the best keeper at the last U17 World Cup, which Nigeria won, has been grinning from ear to ear at his output so far in the Super Eagles camp.
Alampasu, who turns 17, said he has learnt a lot from his experience with top and senior keepers like Chigozie Agbim and Dan Akpeyi, whom he noted have added the much needed fillip to his game as he seeks ascendancy into the senior cadre.
He was a member of the gold medal winning Lagos team at Eko 2012 National Sports Festival in Lagos.
