Championship Clubs after youthful AKINOLA of Nigerian heritage

Several English Championship clubs are chasing Nigerian youngster Simeon Akinola, who features for Boreham Wood in the Conference South. Akinola, 19, scored twice for Harrow Borough Tuesday as they defeated East Thurrock United as he continued his comeback from injury. Having scored 53 goals last season with the Boreham Wood reserves, Akinola has started to attract attention from Championship clubs, with scouts attending his last three matches. With four goals in five games since a return from injury, the Nigeria-born striker, also eligible for Spain, shows no signs of letting up as he maintains his incredible scoring record. “There has been a lot of interest in Simeon over the past few weeks,” said the player's agent, Kay Sarpong. “The thought of playing at a higher level is obviously pleasing for him and he is definitely capable of reaching those heights. “Right now though, Simeon is just focused on performing well and scoring goals.” Boreham Wood have announced the immediate return of Akinola from his loan spell and the young striker will now go straight into the first-team for Friday's fixture against Thurrock.
