Godswill Enyeama, son of former Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, has completed a move to French side Lille FC, marking his first professional football contract.

Lille have drafted Godswill into their U18 team, and the youngster will hope rise through to the ranks.

 

He follows in his father’s footsteps who joined Lille in June 2011, and enjoyed a stellar career marked by numerous accolades and significant milestones.

 

Vincent Enyeama, 41, moved to Lille in June 2011 on a three-year deal after four years of standout performances for Israeli side Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Celebrating his son’s achievement, the former Nigeria goalkeeper, who earned 101 caps, took to Facebook to share his joy:

“God is the greatest. Home sweet home. Back home in a different skin #losc #prouddaddy❤️ #younggoalie #youngcoach #newadventure @losclive”

Godswill hopes to continue his father’s legacy as one of the best goalkeepers to come out of Africa and aims to represent the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles.
