Barely a few days after he was dropped from the squad of the Nigeria U-20 team for the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), teenager Musa Oluwayesi Akinfenwa of none League Nigerian side, Real Sapphire, has emerged as the most wanted Nigerian teen in Belgium.
Talks have advanced with his Nigerian team over his signing with Union St. Gilloise (USG), who used their relationship with the team that produced Victor Boniface who played for them two seasons ago, before moving to Bayer Leverkusen of Germany.
However they are not yet certain of signing the top prospect with rivals, Anderlecht, pushing from the player’s side to have him change his mind, and join them, when he turns 18 on the 4th of September.
Recent reports say USG have reached agreement on personal terms and will work on getting him a work permit and authorization to travel, and at least train with their B team until the deal is formalized in September.
Akinfenwa was dropped by the coach of the Nigeria U-20 team, Aliyu Zubairu, before the WAFU tournament which they won, and most recently, wasn’t considered for the U20 AFCON ongoing in Egypt.
