Kano Pillars Super Kid Resumes Training With Flying Eagles After Brondby Trials

Kano Pillars super kid Nazifi Yahaya has resumed training with Nigeria's U20 National Team, the Flying Eagles, following his trip to Scandinavia, where he underwent trials with Danish Superliga outfit Brondby.

The Dabo Babes Academy product has not yet attained the age of majority, and a top source close to the deal confirmed to this website that Brondby will continue to monitor his performance, with a view to handing him a professional contract as from the January transfer window of 2019.

''Nazifi is back in Nigeria, he arrived around 12 midnight this morning. He is now with the Flying Eagles, '' he told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''He is going to be eighteen in December. He performed wonderfully well during his trials with Brondby and we expect that he will be offered a contract after the World Cup.''

Atletico Madrid, Club Brugge plus Turkish teams were earlier linked with a move for Nazifi Yahaya after putting himself in the shop window at the Guateng Future Champions Tournament that took place in South Africa in 2017.

Despite Yahaya's small stature, he has been likened to ex-Chelsea striker Didier Drogba due to his aerial and physical presence.
