Norwegian top-flight Lillestrom have signed 16-year-old Nigerian winger Seun Akanji from Nigeria National League (NNL) side Sporting Lagos.
“LSK have secured an option on Nigerian winger Seun Akanji. The 16-year-old has been training with the club since mid-January and has been given playing time in both friendly matches.
“He has impressed sporting director Simon Mesfin and the rest of the LSK staff. The club has therefore entered into an agreement with Sporting Lagos for an option to purchase Akanji.”
Lillestrom stated that before their invitation, Sporting Lagos had already received offers from several European and Scandinavian clubs, but they managed to convince the Nigerian club that they are the right place for Akanji’s development.
