Breaking : Ex-Flying Eagles skipper joins Croatian club NK Slaven Belupo on 2-year deal

Published: August 31, 2021

Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that former Nigeria U20 captain Ikouwem Udo has ended his association with Israeli club Maccabi Haifa.

Croatian top-flight side NK Slaven Belupo are set to announce the signing of Udo on a permanent deal.

The promising left-back passed his physical examination with flying colours, paving the way for him to sign a two-year deal that will keep him at NK Slaven Belupo until the end of the 2022-2023 season.

Udo's transfer to Maccabi Haifa did not go as planned as he struggled to break into the first team, making only two starts during his stint with the Greens.

And as a result, the former Enyimba star was loaned out to Bnei Sakhnin for the whole of last season.

Udo was one of the Flying Eagles players that left with his reputation intact after their dismal performance at the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup, leading to his nomination for the prestigious Golden Boy.

NK Slaven Belupo, who are ninth in the HNL table after seven matches, travel to Rijeka in their first game after the international break on September 11.
