Promising and talented Nigerian youngsters Chikezie Okolie and Adindu Odera Samuel have landed in Sweden to finalize a transfer to Allsvenskan outfit Hammarby.
If everything goes as planned, the two players are expected to ink a two-year deal.
Okolie and Adindu are set to join Hammarby from famous Nigerian grassroots club Future Pro Academy, Lagos, which produced former Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles captain Ramon Azeez.
While Okolie is a right fullback who has been called up to Nigeria’s U20 national team in the past, Adindu is a winger.
Hammarby sporting director Mikael Hjelmberg was in Nigeria to scout for the players himself in a scouting programme organized by Future Pro Academy in conjunction with UDE Sports Management Limited.
Speaking with reporters, UDE Sports Management Limited’s chief, confirmed that the deal is as good as done and expressed confidence that the players will succeed at Hammarby.
He added that the two players touched down in Sweden few days ago to wrap up their move to the 2001 Swedish champions.
From a sporting perspective, Okolie and Adindu will aim to replicate the success of 2019 Fifa U17 World Cup star Akinkunmi Amoo, who impressed at Hammarby before his transfer to FC Copenhagen.
