A plethora of unnamed English Premier League and overseas clubs are reportedly keeping tabs on Birmingham City U16 forward\u00a0Tobechukwu Ugorji.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ugorji\u00a0has become a target for top-flight English clubs due to his impressive performances for the Blues academy teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the well-informed Football Insider,<\/a>\u00a0numerous Premier League and foreign clubs are monitoring Birmingham City schoolboy Tobey\u00a0Ugorji.<\/p>\n

The promising teenager has directly participated in 41 goals (26 goals, 15 assists) in 28 all-competition appearances so far in the 2023-2024 campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ugorji has played for Birmingham City U18s this season, coming off the bench to replace Tattum in the closing minutes of their 2-0 loss to\u00a0Bradford City in the Professional Development League Cup.<\/p>\n

A striker by trade, he was a member of\u00a0Erdington and Saltley Primary Schools District Football Team before joining the\u00a0St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park outfit in 2016.<\/p>\n

Apart from clubs in the Premier League, French Ligue 1 teams\u00a0are also tracking the Anglo-Nigerian wonderkid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ugorji\u00a0qualifies to represent the Golden Eaglets through his Nigerian father and he’s also eligible to wear the colours of England.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nigeria international Sone Aluko and 2019 Super Eagles invitee Viv Solomon-Otabor are products of the Birmingham City academy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
