Nigeria Under 20 international Alhassan Ibrahim has started trials with Croatian club Rijeka, with a view to a transfer in the winter transfer market.

A number of clubs in Scandinavia teams led by Kalmar are keeping a close eye on his performance with the national team.

But Rijeka are hoping to steal a march on their rivals by securing the signature of the highly rated striker, who is expected to be one of the stars of the 2015 African Youth Championship.

A product of Sardauna Babes of Kano, Alhassan Ibrahim previously trialled with Angelholm FF and IFK Goteborg .

The youngster is represented by Adam Mohammed, the same agent that brokered the deal which took Chrisantus to Hamburg.
