Nnamdi Oduamadi

Early career

Born in Lagos, Oduamadi started playing football at the local Pepsi Football Academy at the age of 7. He left his home country in 2008 to join Milan, although he was officially signed only in January 2009 due to bureaucratic issues. Oduamadi spent two seasons in the club's youth system and was a member of the under-20 side who won the Coppa Italia Primavera in 2010, 25 years after the team's last success in the competition. At the beginning of the 2010–11 season, Milan announced to have sold half of the rights to Oduamadi to Genoa in co-ownership for €3.5 million, as part of the deal that saw defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos move the other way. The Nigerian, though, stayed at Milan on loan, being included in the first team squad. He made his official debut for the club in a league game against Catania on 18 September 2010, coming off the bench in the last minutes. However, that remained his only appearance of the season and he still played games for the under-20 team at times through the season as an over-age player, being also included in the squad for the annual Viareggio Cup.

At international level, Oduamadi was first capped by Nigeria U-17, when he was at the Pepsi Football Academy. He went on to be called up by Nigeria U-20 to take part in the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, but eventually was cut from the final squad due to an hamstring injury. Oduamadi made his full international debut for Nigeria against Kenya, on 29 March 2011, featuring as a second-half substitute. Two years later, he made his second appearance against Kenya in a 2014 World Cup qualifying match, where he scored the equalising goal in the 94th minute to level the score. Oduamadi was selected for Nigeria's squad at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, in which he scored three goals against Tahiti in their opening match.
