18 year old Nigerian and ex Akwa United midfielder Afeez Aremu could be in line for a shock move to Belgium after distinguishing himself at Norwegian side IK Start.
Aremu joined Start in December from Ghanaian side Inter Allies in a move shrouded in controversy base on the manner which he left Nigeria Professional Football League side Akwa United for the Ghanaian outfit.
In Norway he has emerged as one of the top midfielders in just six months with two goals from his role as a defensive midfielder from the13 games he has played so far in the Norwegian top division.
A hard tackler, who is also very good in spraying passes, he introduced himself to football fans in Norway with a stunning goal in his debut game and since then he has continue to flourish to the extent that he is now nicknamed the ” New Ndidi”.
His style of play is regarded as the same as former Genk of Belgium midfielder Wilfred Ndidi who is now at Leicester City and also set to represent Nigeria at the World Cup in Russia starting this weekend.
