Africa’s Youth footballer of the year 2015, Victor Osimhen, has hinted that Wolfsburg will be his destination.

At Thursday’s Glo-CAF Awards night, the 17-year-old Nigeria international was voted the youngest best footballer to come out of the continent in the past year.

Having been reported to be on the verge of agreeing a deal with an English premiership side, Osimhen said that Germany’s Wolfsburg is where he will be playing his club football.

“I have visited the team in Wolfsburg and with the promises the coach made to me when I visited the arena, I think Wolfsburg is my destination,” Osimhen disclosed at the gala night.

“I’m going to stay at Wolfsburg for as long as the team can keep me,” he added when asked of the duration of his stay in Germany.

The fast-rising star has become one of the most-talked-about prodigy in Nigerian football.

He was relatively unknown before the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile where he emerged the highest goal scorer.

Osimhen also helped the Nigerian Olympic team, the Dream Team VI, to Olympic qualification and title win at the African U-13 Championship.
