DANIEL DINGZANG WOTLAI has been compared with Nigerian midfielders like Ndidi, WOTLAI is much younger and can do more and better in no time, he would soon match the likes of Africa’s great Yaya Toure. 

WOTLAI’s abilities are superb not to forget his Attacking prowess, he is classic in ball control, passing the ball, handling, counter attack, tiki taka, 1-2, marking, tackling, ball runs, volleys and headers too. An interview with him lately disclosed he has been working on set pieces too which means in no time his comparison will be with the likes of Toure Yaya coupled with the fact that he is very much young and has more to learn, he will indeed be a great asset to any team that is having his signature at the moment and in the future to come.

Best Wishes to a Player of the Moment DANIEL DINGZANG WOTLAI.
