Kalmar Rubbish Reports Taiwo Awoniyi Has Signed Contract
Published: March 24, 2014
Kalmar have moved quickly to debunk media reports in Nigeria that claimed Golden Eaglets attacker Taiwo Awoniyi has signed a pre - contract with the club.
The report from Nigeria further disclosed that the 16 - year - old will append his signature to a three - year contract with the Swedish topflight team when he clocks 18 in August 2015.
While there has been contact between the parties, Sporting Director of Kalmar, Thomas Andersson Borstam has literally stated that the media outfit jumped the gun in announcing the transfer.
Borstam told Barometern Oskarshamns-Tidningen: “It is a matter of definition, and it feels good but nothing is signed and then nothing clearly. We may have a little patience with the red tape.”
Kalmar have sought a three - month visa for Taiwo Awoniyi while another Nigeria youth - teamer Alhassan Abdullahi has applied for a one - year visa.
Alhassan Ibrahim Abdullahi , who was dropped from the Golden Eaglets squad before the tournament in United Arab Emirates, impressed the Kalmar chiefs after conclusion of tests last November.
