Golden Eaglets attacker Light Eke has declared their readiness to compete for honour in the upcoming 2023 U17 African Cup of Nations in Algeria, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

After arriving in Algeria last weekend and passing through all necessary documentation including the compulsory Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( MRI), the team appears to be ready for the continent cadet championship.

The light-skinned forward confirmed their readiness while speaking on the NFF TV Youtube channel and he made it clear their intention to qualify for the World Cup.

 â€œBased on our preparation I know that we are very ready for this tournament and in our group, we have opponents that we know and are very good.

“But like I said based on our preparation we came here knowing that we are going to win the trophy and also qualify for the World Cup.

“So all we are going to do is play according to the coach's instructions and give our best throughout the tournament", he stressed.

The semi-finalists in Algeria will represent the continent in the 2023 FIFA U17 World Cup later in the year.
