Neftchi Baku intend to take a closer look at 36 Lion midfielder Peter Oluka when the player travels over for a trial with the club on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to 36 Lion Adviser, Gafar Olawale Liameed, the nine-time Azerbaijan Premier League champions have invited the player over to Baku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oluka was spotted by Neftchi Baku at the recently concluded Jagaban Cup that took place at Mobolaji Johnson Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was the best midfielder on display at the four-day tournament which had the backing of 36 Lion Investment, Diamond Sports Management and Lagos Enigma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you would expect from any young Nigerian prospect, Oluka ranks as one of the highly rated Nigerian midfielders who can boast of an exciting work-rate, supreme technique and passing ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He does have the invention, creativity and has been earmarked as a “destroyer” that is, shutting down the opposition’s play in midfield, outside, and just about everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One trait that sets Oluka apart from his peers is his intelligent movement. On a basic level, he has good pace and acceleration which allows him to provide adequate guard for defenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given his great mobility, he’s not afraid to work and play from the channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oluka’s spatial awareness is good enough that he’s often initiating attacking moves and playing quick combinations. He is expected to impress the coaching staff of Black and Whites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
