Published: June 24, 2016
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Swedish Allsvenskan side Kalmar are hopeful of clinching the singing of Nigerian talent Paul Francis before the close of the transfer window on August 11.
Subject to a successful visa application, the Abuja City FC striker will travel to Sweden in the coming days to undergo trials with the Red Brothers.
Kalmar have contacted the Swedish Embassy in Abuja, informing the officials that Francis should be given multiple entry visas to Sweden that will expire on August 30.
Aged 18, Paul Francis was extensively scouted for a number of years by Kalmar’s chief scout in Africa before he was recommended to the club after attaining the age of majority.
He is predominantly a striker but can play in midfield and has been likened to Manchester City wonderkid Kelechi Iheanacho by his minders.
