Done Deal : Leicester City Snap Up Promising Nigerian Defender
Published: October 02, 2016
The highly rated young Nigerian defender Josh Debayo has joined English Premier League champions Leicester City on undisclosed terms following a successful trial.
Aged 19, the left fullback cum central defender was on the books of the youth team of Southampton during the 2015-2016 season.
Debayo, himself, announced that he has completed his transfer to the Foxes on Friday and featured for their U23 squad in their 2-0 loss to West Ham in the Premier League Cup yesterday.
The stopper was offered a new contract by Southampton at the end of last season but decided it was time to move on to greener pastures.
Josh Debayo swapped Chelsea for Southampton in the summer of 2013, then penned a professional contract few months later.
