Nigeria youth international Stanley Okoro failed to make his league debut for Bulgarian club Cherno More last weekend.

The official website of Cherno More had earlier informed that the 20 - year - old striker had been registered by the Bulgarian Federation.

'' I did not play against Slavia Sofia because I had not received my work permit.

'' But I got the permit on Monday, so I hope to play against CSKA Sofia on Saturday,'' Okoro told allnigeriasoccer.com.

Note that ' Little Messi ' is under contract with Almeria for the next three seasons but will spend the 2013 - 2014 campaign at the Bulgarian top division outfit.

This portal understands that an undisclosed rental fee was paid to Almeria by Cherno More.
