Newly capped Nigeria international forward Salim Fago Lawal is few details away from completing a transfer from Croatian side Istra to Czech Republic outfit Viktoria Plzen, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Capped twice by Nigeria at senior level, he is a member of the Super Eagles team to the recently concluded AFCON following his elevation from the U20 team two years ago, the deal according to what we gathered is worth €3m, including add-ons, plus a 10% sell-on clause.
It is a historic sale for the modest Czech Republic side, who were quick in snapping up the power playing forward after his exploits for the Nigeria U20 team at the world cup.
Per what we exclusively gathered reports linking him with Qarabağ are wide of the mark as he is expected in Czech Republic to complete his switch in the next 24 hours, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
