Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Slovenian PrvaLiga club NK Domžale are in advanced talks with Young Eleven FC over the signing of ex-Nigeria U17 international Joel Osikel.

The 17-year-old is back in the country after his trip to Slovenia to be shown around the facilities at NK Domžale , and featured in a test game for the club against Unione Triestina.

Negotiations between the Slovenian topflight team, Young Eleven and the intermediaries were fruitful, with Osikel set to append his signature to a four-year contract when he clocks 18 on June 17.

The midfielder’s representatives have claimed that he returned to Nigeria to apply for a residence permit.

Joel Osikel made two appearances for the Golden Eaglets at the Fifa Under 17 World Cup held in Chile last year.
