Super Eagles boss Éric Chelle is banking on Tochukwu Nnadi to be a knockout success in Ligue 1.
The 22-year-old midfielder recently swapped Belgian side Zulte Waregem for Marseille in a €6m deal, snubbing interest from the Premier League in the process.
Though Nnadi played only a minor role in Nigeria’s 2025 AFCON campaign—appearing briefly against Uganda—Chelle is convinced of his quality.
Speaking to L’Equipe, Chelle praised the midfielder’s speed and defensive grit, noting, “He’s fast, strong, and aggressive… I thought he should have been in a top league a long time ago.”
