Daniel Eni, the 19-year-old wing sensation of Abakaliki FC, is making headlines as one of the brightest talents in the Nigerian National League (NNL) following a remarkable individual campaign. His performances have sparked calls for his inclusion in the Nigeria U20 and CHAN Eagles squads, with several NPFL clubs now expressing strong interest in the youngster.
Despite Abakaliki FC’s turbulent league season, their historic run to the final of the 2024 President Federation Cup has been a defining highlight. Eni played a key role in that journey, particularly catching the eye with a solo goal against NPFL giants Enyimba FC in Asaba — a stunning effort that saw him slice through the defence before calmly finishing past goalkeeper Olorunleke Ojo.
Rated among the top five naturally gifted players in the NNL this season, Eni’s blend of pace, skill, and vision has made him a nightmare for defenders. His ability to turn matches in an instant has not only elevated his status but has also made him one of the most sought-after talents ahead of the new NPFL season.
“Daniel is a match-winner, plain and simple,” a club insider noted. “Any NPFL team that signs him will gain an edge in attack.”
With Abia Warriors reportedly leading the chase for his signature, Eni's next move could mark the start of a major breakthrough. His potential call-up to the national youth and home-based teams is seen by many as a natural step forward.
For now, Daniel Eni remains focused, but his rise from Abakaliki FC to the radar of national selectors signals a promising future. Whether at club or international level, the name Daniel Eni is one that Nigerian football fans should get used to hearing.
