Wolfsburg Trainee Victor Osimhen Set To Return To Nigeria To Process Work Permit

Published: November 29, 2016

Victor Osimhen’s representative Ariyo Igbayilola has sounded it loud and clear that the Nigeria international is as fit as a fiddle, contrary to speculations in a section of the media that he sustained a serious injury at Wolfsburg training.

Wolfsburg will active the preliminary contract Osimhen and his camp signed with the club in January, when he would have attained the age of majority.

And the 17-year-old is set to return to Nigeria any moment from now to begin processing his work permit application, which will pave the way for him to begin his professional career.

“No, there is nothing wrong with Victor whatsoever. He is fine and ready to go,” Ariyo told africanfootball.com

“He has played as many as four friendly matches for Wolfsburg and they in their wisdom have thought it wise to rest the boy.

“He will soon be back in Nigeria to work on his papers.”

A product of Ultimate Strikers, Osimhen has caps for Nigeria U17, U20 and U23 national teams, and has trained with the Super Eagles.
