Victor Osimhen of Nigeria celebrates after scoring the opening goal
BY Macaulay Maduwuba
Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian sensation at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup, is off to England to seal move to the EPL, Africanfootball.com reports.
The 17-year-old flew directly to Queen’s land direct from Dakar, venue of the just concluded CAF U-23 AFCON – which the Dream team VI won, defeating Algeria 2-1 in the final.
The name of the club remains a mystery.
“Everything has been agreed with an EPL club,’’ a source was quoted in the report.
Osimhen, record scorer at the U-17 World Cup with 10 goals, looks assured of the deal, except an irresistibly tempting offer from a team like Real Madrid would halt the deal, the source further said.
An earlier reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur in the youngster was downplayed in the report.
