19 year old Nigerian forward Stanley Nnanna made a huge impression in Switzerland for his Latvian club Spartaks Jurmala with a goal in their 1-3 loss to Servette during their training tour.
The teen forward put in a performance that caught the attention of the media in Switzerland and as expected talks about a move away from Latvia is already on the card for the forward.
So far he has scored three goals in nine league games for 4th place Spartaks Jurmala, the team that has as many as seven Nigerian players on their payroll although as many as four are expected to depart at the end of the season.
The other Nigerian at the club are Chinonso Ogwo, Collins Agita, Lucky Opara, Aliyu Adam, Miracle Nwaorisa, Samiru Abdullahi, Kingsley Eleje. It is believed their partnership with Jos based Geelec Academy is responsible for the high number of Nigerian players at the club.
Latvia has become one of the destination Nigerian players use to build their career before making move to more competitive leagues as seen by the move of Tosin Aiyegun to FC Zurich from Ventspills and Lukman Zakari to Real Betis from fellow Latvian side FS Metta.
