Talented Midfielder Released By Tottenham After Pledging International Future To Nigeria
Published: March 17, 2018
English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur have parted company with talented Nigerian midfielder Moroyin Omolabi.
According to the English Football Association’s official website, Omolabi's registration with Tottenham Hotspur has been cancelled by mutual consent, paving the way for him to try his luck elsewhere.
Championship outfit Reading are believed to be in pole position for the services of the versatile midfielder.
The 18-year-old has been training with the Royals for more than one month and figured for their U18 team in their 6-2 loss to Arsenal in the U18 Premier League and was an unused substitute for the U23s against Aston Villa in the Premier League 2 Division Two just five days ago.
Omolabi celebrated his maiden competitive goal in the colours of Tottenham Hotspur against West Ham in October 2017.
That same month, he committed his international future to Nigeria, and sources close to the player informed allnigeriasoccer.com that he was queried by Spurs for choosing the African powerhouse ahead of his country of birth.
Before this official announcement, Moroyin Omolabi had planned to depart Tottenham Hotspur as he had fallen out of favour with the powers that be after making a big career decision without consulting the club and last represented the U18s five months ago.
