Watford's Dele-Bashiru and Montreal Impact's Okwonkwo join Nigeria U23 camp

Watford midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru and Montreal Impact attacker Orji Okwonkwo have joined Nigeria in preparing for the 2019 Africa U23 Cup of Nations in Egypt.

The duo joins Huesca midfielder Kelechi Nwakali as the latest foreign-based players to team up with the Olympic Eagles at their Abuja training camp.

Dele-Bashiru is yet to play for Watford in the Premier League this term since his summer move from Manchester City but he played a part in their 3-0 win over Coventry City back in August, racking up 18 minutes of action.
