Few days after he was dropped from the squad of the Nigeria U20 team for the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations 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 rather join them, when he turns 18 on the 4th of September.
Although recent reports say USG has 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 U20 team Aliyu Zubairu before the WAFU tournament which they won, and most recently wasn’t considered for the U20 AFCON ongoing in Egypt.
