Maccabi Tel Aviv youth - teamer Kehinde Olanrewaju, who has been hailed as the next Yakubu Aiyegbeni, has started training with the first team of the Israeli champions, informs one.co.il.

The attacker is in line to be offered a professional contract and join the first-team squad next season if he impresses manager Oscar Garcia and Sporting Director Jordi Cruyff.

Kehinde Olanrewaju made remarkable progress with the Under 19 squad of the Yellows this season, banging in the goals in the Youth League.

The loan agreement between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Nigerian club Dominion Hotspur expires at the end of this season.

In all likelihood, Maccabi Tel Aviv will acquire the 18 - year - old from Dominion Hotspur.

Olanrewaju  is represented by Dudu Dahan, who also manages Nigeria internationals Efe Ambrose and Juwon Oshaniwa.
