After their strong seasons in the Serie A and Serie B, Roberto Mancini has invited two Nigerian players to the Italian training camp
Mancini has invited Udinese wing-back Destiny Udogie and Cremonese defender Caleb Okoli to the Italian training camp between May 24th and 26th.
Udogie has had a solid season in the Serie A where he has scored four goals and assisted two in 34 league games this season.
Born in Italy, the player who is owned by Hellas Verona and is on loan at Udinese previously stated his desire to play for the Azzurri.
Like 19-year-old Udogie, Cremonese defender, Okoli has helped the Serie B side to earn promotion to the Italian top flight. The 20-year-old is spending his second year out on loan from Atalanta after playing at SPAL last season.
Mancini invited two groups of players as he looks to build a new generation for the Azzurri, and hopes to start with picking young players to join the national team.
