Panathinaikos are nearing the signing of Nigeria youth international Abdul Ajagun, according to reports in Greece.

Gazzetta. gr says Panathinaikos and Dolphins of Port Harcourt are in advanced negotiations and the transfer of the midfielder could be completed as early as next week.

The stumbling block had been Abdul Ajagun's transfer fee of 500,000 euros . But Dolphins have now lowered their demand.

This summer, 20 - year - old Ajagun had been on the wish list of clubs in Turkey (Samsunspor, Konyaspor and Manisaspor) and France.

He netted three times for the Flying Eagles at the Fifa Under 20 World Cup held in Turkey.
