Swedish Allsvenskan club Djurgården have handed trials to two talented Nigerian players from Ikonnekt Football Academy.
According to the official website of Djurgården, Usman Emmanuel Inalegwu and Longji Aaron trained with the club on Monday as they look to earn potential moves to the Swedish side.
Inalegwu is a left-footed central defender, while Aaron is a striker.
Both players will be hoping to impress the Djurgården coaching staff and earn contracts with the club.
During the summer transfer window, Djurgården completed a high-profile move, bringing in forward Abdul Abdulmalik from National League club Boreham Wood.
The Blue Stripes paid a transfer fee exceeding £1.5 million (approximately N2.64 billion in Nigerian currency) to secure the winger, making him the most expensive player in history sold by a fifth-tier club in England.
In the past, Nigerian trio Haruna Garba,. Prince Ikpe Ekong and Kennedy Igboananike wore the colours of Djurgården.
After twenty-two games in the Swedish top-flight, Djurgården are third in the standings with 41 points, ten less than table toppers IK Sirius.
