Chelsea Interested In Youngest Player Of Nigerian Descent To Debut In The Norwegian Tippeligaen
Published: December 09, 2019According to reports emanating from the Norwegian press, Chelsea are interested in signing highly-rated Norway youth international of Nigerian descent, Bryan Fiabema.
Norwegian newspaper Sunnmørsposten says Fiabema will train with Chelsea for eleven days before Christmas.
The 2003-born player became the youngest player of Nigerian descent to debut in the Norwegian Tippeligaen when he made his league debut for Tromso against FK Haugesund on July 14, 2019 aged 16 years, 4 months and 28 days, beating the previous record held by ex-Lillestrom striker Ohi Omoijuanfo (16 years, 9 months and 28 days).
Confirming the interest from Chelsea, he said : ''I know they have been interested for a while.''
Fiabema was once coached by Chelsea legend Erland Johnsen in Norway's U16 national team set-up.
Described as a physical and pacy center forward, the 16-year-old inked his first professional contract with Tromso before the start of the 2018 season.
In the 2019 campaign, Fiabema was included in Tromso's matchday squads for league matches three times.
