Leicester City consider move for 2019 Nigeria U17 invitee who is leaving Chelsea in June

Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that 2019 Golden Eaglets invitee Prince Adegoke is preparing to bid farewell to English Premier League club Chelsea.

The talented goalkeeper has been informed that he won't be getting a new deal when the current agreement between club and player runs out on June 30, 2023.

Adegoke has been on the books of the Stamford Bridge outfit since U13 level, rising through the ranks before putting pen to paper on his first professional contract in November 2020, after turning seventeen.

He was farmed out on loan to National League South side Welling United at the start of the season, only to be recalled in August  due to a lack of first-team opportunities. 

Adegoke trained at Stoke City in October but was forced to cut short his trial with the Potters' development squad  due to fitness issues.

Nottingham Forest wanted to take him on trial the following month but it didn't eventually work out because the goalkeeper was not in the best physical condition. 

Leicester City have shown an interest in signing Adegoke and have invited him to train with their U21 squad, starting from next week, with a view to a possible transfer. 

Nigeria-eligible goalkeepers Kelechi Chibueze and Chituru Odunze were schoolboys at Chelsea before joining The Foxes, and Adegoke could be following in their footsteps should he impress the coaching staff during his trial period.
