Endurance Alade has been churning out impressive performances in the Netherlands as he harbours the hopes of playing for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Dutch-born Nigerian star Endurance Alade once again showed his quality as he continues to build up his profile in the Netherlands.
Alade, who was born in the Netherlands to Nigerian parents, currently plays for the Vitesse U-21 team.
The 20-year-old was in action as the Vites took on VV Venlo in a friendly match that featured both the first team players and the U-21 team on November 22.

Alade, who plays as a centre-back, came on in the 60th minute of the game as the match ended in a 3-3 thriller.
The youngster has been building up his resume with Vitesse, having made three competitive appearances for the U-21 side this season.
Alade captained the side in their 0-0 draw against Heerenveen U-21, before coming on as a substitute against IJsselmeerv U-21 and Fortuna Sittard’s U-21.
Alade’s Super Eagles dream
Born in Vlissingen to Nigerian parents, Alade hopes to have a successful career that will eventually give him a chance to play for Nigeria at the international level.
“My dream is to become an important defender for the Super Eagles of Nigeria and one day win the title of Africa’s Best Player. I see myself playing at the highest level, continuously working hard, believing in myself, and achieving even greater success than I can imagine,” Alade told Pulse Sports.
The 20-year-old will continue in his quest towards achieving that goal when Vitesse’s U-21 return to action against NAC Breda’s U-21 on Tuesday.
