Hot in demand Nigerian forward Theophilus Solomon will in the coming days arrive Belgium to officially complete his move to top league side Lokeren.
Lokeren have already agreed to a swap deal which will see the 21 year old Nigerian forward join them in exchange for their player Mario Ticinovic, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Billed as the next big thing to happen to Nigeria football, Solomon experienced a lull in his career but a move to second division side Sibenik, and subsequently top division side Istra has helped him discover the form that made him a big hit in Nigeria at the age of 16.
A source close to the player confirmed he will apply for a Belgium visa this week, and if granted he will be arriving Belgium before the end of the week to complete his move.
He is expected to sign a four year deal with the option of a fifth based on performance in his first four years at the club.
