Norwegian Side Lillestrøm SK have announced the signing of Nigeria U20 striker Kparabo Ariheri and Nigeria U17 defender Tochukwu Ogboji on a four year deal, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Top striker Ariheri joins from Beyond Limit Football Academy while centre back Ogboji joins the team from Nigeria National League (NNL) side Giant Brillars.
Ariheri was a part of the Nigeria U20 team that won the last edition of the WAFU tournament scoring two goals in the final win to help Nigeria book a spot at the U20 Africa Cup of Nations.
Ogboji was a part of the Nduka Ugbade U17 team of two years ago, impressing with his tackling, ball playing abilities and also reading and intercepting of play. The team however failed to make it to the U17 World Cup after winning the WAFU tournament in style.
Both players will start from the youth team of the Norwegian side, but will no doubt be expected to be a part of the first team in the nearest future owing to how highly rated they are within the corridors of the club.
