Modest Swedish side Norrkoping have pulled a major transfer coup following their capture of 16 year old Nigerian kid sensation Abdulrazak Ishaq according to a journalist based in Sweden.
Lars Jackson told Owngoalnigeria.com in an exclusive chat that the adaptation of the 16 year old during the time he spent training with the youth team of the Swedish side took even the coaches of the club by surprise.
Razak nicknamed golden boy was part of the Nigerian U17 team of 2017 that failed to qualify for the African Youth Championship, but his performance during their ill fated attempt during the qualifiers won him admirers.
After a long drawn saga involving three clubs and agents over his capture, Norrkoping won the race to have him train with them and also secure first option to sign him from Unity Academy when he turns 18.
” I have watched him thrice and all I can say is that it’s a coup. In one particular game he scored a solo goal out of nothing. Aside that his vision and range of passes is something else. It’s like he sees everywhere on the pitch”, Lars told Owngoalnigeria.com.
” He (Razak) still has some way to go before you can say he is a star but at the moment he is not far off from been one. I like his work rate and it’s amazing that top clubs didn’t take notice of him until Norrkoping did”.
