Celtic-Linked Striker Odey Lands In Lagos After Strange Visit To Denmark

Mountain of Fire striker Stephen Odey has returned to Nigeria without concluding his trials with Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland.

The 19-year-old secretly turned up in Denmark at the beginning of this week to be shown around the facilities at the Wolves but ended up undergoing what appears to be a trial after playing in a reserve team fixture against FC Copenhagen.

According to Mountain of Fire, Odey was never permitted to travel to Denmark and the Lagos-based club threatened to report FCM to Fifa if their player doesn't return to his homeland by Friday.

Odey is the leading scorer in the Nigeria Professional Football League with 18 goals but fired blanks during the 45 minutes he spent on the pitch against FCK.

The striker, who is on the radar of Celtic and Club Brugge in the summer transfer market, is expected to land in Lagos on Friday evening.
