Golden Eaglets striker Taiwo Awoniyi has secured an entry visa to fly to Sweden to sign a pre-contract with Kalmar.
Awoniyi has agreed to join the Swedish top league side ahead of several top European clubs like Anderlecht, Benfica and Sampdoria.
Awoniyi’s visa was based on the invitation of Kalmar and he will now be set to depart to Sweden to sign his deal when he could excuse himself from the Flying Eagles training camp.
A family member told a source they are excited for the highly promising striker to join Kalmar as his mother’s wish has always being for her son to continue his education, which the Swedish club have now agreed to pay for.
Awoniyi will sign a pro deal when he is 18 next year August.
He was one of the standout stars as Nigeria won a record fourth FIFA U17 World Cup in Abu Dhabi in November as he scored four goals and made several assists.
