Exclusive : Agent Dismisses Rumors Linking Taiwo Awoniyi With Monaco And Stresses He Has Valid Contract With Kalmar

Goke Oshatoba, the bonafide agent of Nigeria Under 20 international Taiwo Awoniyi, has rubbished reports in the local media that claimed his client is in talks with Monaco.

The Nigeria Football Federation licensed intermediary has stressed that the 17 - year - old has a valid agreement with Kalmar and they are only waiting for the local football regulator to rule on his ownership rights before he returns to Sweden.

“I am not aware of any interest from Monaco, we have to wait for the NFF to rule on the club that owns his registration rights,” Goke Oshatoba told allnigeriasoccer.com.

“Kalmar has a valid contract with Awoniyi and Imperial Academy. They are on standby for everything, if they don’t honour it there will be issues.

“Taiwo Awoniyi can not sign another contract with another club when his pre -contract with Kalmar has not been cancelled. Imperial Academy have already been paid part of the transfer fee.”

All things being equal, Taiwo Awoniyi will pen a pro deal with Kalmar in August when he clocks 18.

He scored two goals against Hungary at the Fifa Under 20 World Cup in New Zealand.
