Leon Balogun unearths next Nigerian music gem

Leon Balogun and the entire Super Eagles’ team have been in Port Harcourt for footballing reasons.

Gernot Rohr’s men have been camping in the Oil City before Monday’s 1-1 draw with DR Congo.

However, that hasn’t stopped the newly-signed Brighton star from exploring the Garden City.

In one of his tours, Balogun stumbled into a highly talented 15-year-old singer.

Simply described as Eric, the chap was spotted on a Leicester City jersey doing a rendition of the national anthem.

Balogun couldn’t contain his excitement, rushing off to Twitter to flaunt his new discovery.

“Meet 15-year-old Port Harcourt originale, Eric! So happy that I’ve met you and got the chance to listen to your amazing voice – still got goosebumps,” he wrote alongside a short clip.

Balogun is a well-known lover of music.

He is expected to play a huge part for Nigeria at the World Cup in Russia.
