Could see him get chance at right back at times

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Well done young man.

 

[Argus]

Get in!!! Really looking forward to seeing more of him and Benjamin Arthur

 

[North London Bee]

Needs to get his fitness and sharpness back after so long an injury absence and hopefully challenge in the second half of the season.

 

[jbee]

From what I've seen of him he is a big right-back prospect, much more than at centre half.

 

[Untouchable]

Excellent news. The Nigerian fans love Benji on social media.

He’s definitely got the potential to be a regular at the elite level.

Plenty of cup games coming up for them

 

[Hullbee]

I my start to get excited when he has played 15-20 first team games

 

[Oxford Bee]

There are a lot of defenders on the list. Presumably a few will be sold/loaned.

 

[Beat Poet]

Interestingly he's yet to make his first team debut (you'd have thought he'd have made two or three cup cameos by now), but he's been on about six first team benches.

Scenes

Just to comment… with Collins and van den berg out and Ji-soo with Korea u23, he may be making the squad for the next month or so.

Didn’t hear much about his loan but he got rave reviews for his performances in the Nigerian national team.

He was injured for most of the loan to Dender, mainly seen as a RB now it seems but certainly could provide CB cover.

 

[Leonardo]

It wasn't that long ago he marked Aubameyang out of an international match. This guy has serious potential

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Says in here KA stopped him from starting for the U21s yesterday as he’ll be involved tomorrow

"One youngster who will be involved at Select Car Leasing Stadium is centre-back Benjamin Fredrick."

[Pixelator]

Starts on the bench for Nigeria to day if you believe www.vavel.com.
Or not in the match day squad at all if you believe the BBC.

Easing him back in, which is good news. Still seems to be a favourite of the Coach.

 

[Beefuddled]

Full 90 for Nigeria in friendly tonight - 3-3 against Russia. Didn't see it but He's coming along ok

 

[PGH_Bee]

Feels as though I've not heard his name at all of late. Starting for Nigeria again. Never seems to play for the U21 team, never really hear a peep about him with the full team. He's a full international and regular starter for the largest country by population in Africa and just 21 years old, I feel like he should be treated as a higher profile player.

Do you know what position he played?

Do you know what position he played?

CB, paired with Calvin Bassey and selected over Ajayi who is one of the starting CBs for Hull City.

Thanks, so that has put to bed the observation that he is being played as Full Back.

 

[PGH_Bee]

Thanks, so that has put to bed the observation that he is being played as Full Back.

Best example I could find is the below. His heat map definitely fits the right CB role, it mirrors Bassey more or less. Not enough sideline play for a fullback.

In the last two Nigeria games he's been lined up at RCB wth Abdullahi Bewene at RB, another young (21) player who plays in the Czech league. I assume their manager is liking this experiment!

 

[hanworthbee]

Difficult one as he's in contract until 2031 but seemingly in reality nowhere near playing for our first team although in the first team squad and 22 in may. Would probably have 25 caps for Nigeria had it not been for a knee injury
