Exclusive: Lyon Desperate To Sign Nigerian Fabregas After Bossing Midfield Vs Onazi, Lukman
Published: June 21, 2017
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that French Ligue 1 outfit Olympique Lyonnais are working on a deal to sign Nigerian wonderkid Solomon Ebuka Ogueri, dubbed the Nigerian Cesc Fabregas.
The central midfielder was scouted by representatives of Lyon on Wednesday, June 14th as Westerlo Academy thrashed Super Eagles All Stars 5-1 at the Lagos State Rehabilitation and Vocational Training Centre.
Solomon bossed the midfield playing against Super Eagles stars Eddy Onazi, Lukman Haruna and Raheem Lawal, and was named the Most Valuable Player of the game after scoring two goals.
Lyon have firmed up their interest in the 17-year-old by inviting him for trials from July 3rd to August 9th, where he will be further assessed before he is offered a deal.
That said, Metz are understood to be in pole position for the signature of Solomon Ebuka Ogueri and he is expected to travel to France in the coming days to begin training with the academy without him undergoing trials.
He is represented by the same agency that handles the affairs of Cameroon legend Samuel Eto'o.
