Nigeria U17 World Cup-Winning Midfielder Idowu Will Join Dynamo Kiev On One Condition

Published: November 02, 2018

Former Nigeria U17 international Akinjide Idowu has confirmed that Ukrainian powerhouse Dynamo Kiev are exploring ways to sign him, as first reported by Football Live Nigeria.

The central midfielder, who won the U17 World Cup with the Golden Eaglets back in 2013, has given a condition before he can agree to a switch to the Kievites.

Idowu is twice shy about making a move to a big team as he was not afforded playing time during his stint with Major League Soccer club Portland Timbers and ended up playing only one game for their reserve team.

''Dynamo Kiev have interest but I and my manager have not decided on me joining the club or not,'' said Idowu to allnigeriasoccer.com.

''Of course, I want to join Dynamo Kiev but only on a concrete condition that I will have enough playing time.

''That's my priority for now not the huge amount of money.''

Akinjide Idowu is contracted to Lithuanian club FK Palanga until September 2019.
