Miracle Okocha: Meet Nigeria's next Jay Jay

Super Eagles legend Austin Jay Jay Okocha is arguably the most skillful player to have ever donned the colours of the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

The former Bolton play-maker is known for confidence, technique, creativity, dribbling skills and his trickery on the field of play.

The attacking midfielder can be regarded as one of the most skillful footballers in the world alongside Brazilian legend and former club teammate Ronaldinho.

Just like Jay Jay, Miracle Okocha is a midfielder known for his trickery on the ball as he is set to become one of Nigeria's brightest talents in football.

Miracle was part of the 2014 AFCON U-15 winning team in Botwana as he was pivotal to the country's campaign in that competition.
