The future of Nigeria U17 forward Olakunle Olusegun has been laid to rest after Fremad FC of Denmark agreed a deal in principle to buy the forward from ABS FC, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
A key member of the Nigeria U17 team to the recently concluded 2019 U17 World Youth Championship, a host of clubs were reportedly interested in his signing but Fremad FC stole a march on their rivals to reach an agreement to sign the soon to be 18 year old.
He will be required to train with their nursery team in Russia Vista FC before he turns 18 where he will team up with the main team who are campaigning in the second division of Danish football.
Already his family have given their blessings to the move which is seen as developmental as he will get the chance to play and improve at the club than if he decide to move to a team playing in mainstream Europe.
Kunle was top scorer at the WAFU B U17 tournament in Niger Republic but he couldn’t match same height at the Africa U17 Cup of Nations although he played a role in qualifying the team for the World Youth Championship.
At the World Youth Championship even though he scored once, he wasn’t at the level many expected him to be base on his talent as Nigeria crashed out of the tournament in the round of 16.
