One of Nigeria’s fast-rising midfield prospects, Obi Anthony, is quietly building a strong reputation in Spain as he continues to impress for Granada CF’s youth team in the Tercera RFEF Group 9. A product of Ojinmah FC of Owerri, the young defensive midfielder has been one of the most consistent performers for the youthful Los Nazaríes this 2025/2026 season.
Operating at the base of midfield, Anthony has earned praise for his composure, intelligence, and tactical maturity — attributes rarely found in players his age. His ability to break up play, dictate tempo, and distribute long, accurate passes has made him a trusted figure in Granada’s developmental setup.

Coaches describe him as a midfielder with “a tireless engine,” someone who reads the game with remarkable clarity and plays with a level of calmness that stabilises the entire team. His blend of strength, control, and decision-making has allowed him to stand out in a league known for its physicality and high tempo.
Those around the club believe a LaLiga2 breakthrough with Granada’s first team is only a matter of time, especially if he continues on his current upward trajectory. The club has monitored his progress closely, and with Granada’s growing reputation for promoting young talents, Anthony could soon find himself stepping onto a bigger stage.
For now, the Owerri-born midfielder remains fully focused on his development, determined to keep improving and ready to seize any opportunity that comes.
Keep an eye on him — Obi Anthony is quietly becoming one of Nigeria’s most promising midfield discoveries in Europe, and the next step in his journey may arrive sooner than expected.
