By ESTHER EGBE
FOR Emmanuel Chuks Anene, an ex-international, scouting was not his choice then, but injury and pressure from his former clubs to get them good players like him forced him into leg-hunting.
Chuks, who played football in Turkey back then, told the National Daily sports that his scouting company focused on Port Harcourt because they want to get players from the south-south of the country.
