Talented Nigerian Defender Offered New Contract By Southampton

The 18-year-old inked his first professional contract with The Saints in 2019 and the agreement between club and player runs out on June 30, 2020.
Olufunwa is studying the fresh offer before deciding whether or not to extend his stay at the St. Mary's Stadium outfit.

Olufunwa joined Southampton in 2010 following a successful trial after he was spotted playing for a local club.
He is open to playing for Nigeria youth teams if approached by the Nigeria Football Federation.
