Former Super Eagles captain,Kanu Nwankwo, has advised the Golden Eaglets to tighten up their defence,if they are to win the FIFA Under 17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

Kanu who incidentally skippered the Under 17 side to victory 20 years ago in the same tournament,in Japan 1993,advised the team to be conscious of their defending.

The Golden Eaglets are currently in camp in Calabar,where they are finetuning preparations for the World Cup.
