Official : Gent Loan Out Nigerian Wonderkid Hailed As The Next Wilfred Ndidi To FKH
Published: April 29, 2017
Through their official website, Norwegian Tippeligaen outfit FK Haugesund have announced the signing of highly-rated Nigerian youngster Anthony Ikedi on loan from Belgian club KAA Gent.
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands the 18-year-old Ikedi joined Gent on a three-year deal and had been issued a Belgian work permit before he was farmed out on loan to FKH for the remainder of the 2017 season.
Gent beat several clubs in Europe to the signature of the giant defensive midfielder, who has been likened to Leicester City's Nigerian star Wilfred Ndidi.
The Golden Boot Soccer Academy product has prodigious passing ability, can strike the balls from distance and is very physical.
Both Gent and FK Haugesund did their homework well before signing the precocious talent as he was extensively scouted back in Nigeria.
Ikedi joins ex-Golden Boot Soccer Academy teammates Ibrahim Shuaibu and Anthony Izuchukwu at FKH.
