Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that former Chelsea schoolboy Ayo Obileye has agreed a contract with Scottish Premiership side Livingston.

The versatile central defender had attracted interest from other Scottish Premiership and Championship clubs and was also on the radar of European teams before signing a preliminary contract with Livingston.

The former Nigeria U23 invitee will be joining The Lions as a free agent upon the expiration of his contract with Championship outfit Queen of the South at the end of the season.

Obileye put himself in the shop window after scoring nine goals in 25 appearances in the second-tier of Scottish football.

Apart from Chelsea, he lists Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton Athletic, Dagenham & Redbridge, Eastleigh, Dover Athletic, Maidenhead United and Ebbsfleet United as his previous clubs.

Former Nigeria national teamer Efe Ambrose is currently on the books of Livingston.
