Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of 23 year old defender Ryan Alebiosu from Belgium side KV Kortrijk on a three year deal, the club has announced.
The defender who started his career at English Premier League giants Arsenal spent the second half of last season on loan to Scottish side St Mirren, who was a part of the team that lost just three of the 13 games he played.
Born in England to parents of Nigerian descent, he arrived at his unveiling with a Nigerian flag clearly showing where his international allegiance lies. He is yet to be capped by both nations at any level.
He has firmly put himself in the position for a call up to the senior national team of Nigeria if he gets up and running at his new base. Two current players of the Nigerian team play in the same division giving him the chance to dream of a potential call up.
