It appears rising Nigerian goalkepper Adeleye Adebayo has lost his spot as the first choice goalkepper of Israel top division side Hapoel Jerusalem.

The former Nigeria U17 shot stopper and U20 trainee has not been in goal for consecutive games for the first time since he became first choice of the team two years ago.

After keeping goal in 22 consecutive games this season, he has been relegated to the bench after the 0-2 defeat against Maccabi Netanya on the 12th of February. He wore the captain armband for three consecutive games before that game.

However since then he has played second fiddle to Yonathan who has impressed by keeping back to back clean sheets against Ashdod and Kiryat Shmona respectively. He now half as many clean sheets as Adeleye in just two games.

21 year old Adeleye has been on the radar of the senior national team of Nigeria for w while with many suggesting that he could rival Maduka Okoye, as he is the only Nigerian goalkepper enjoying a regular run of games in Europe.
