According to leaks gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com’s editorial staff, a clutch of Norwegian Premier League clubs led by Molde will be in Senegal for the African Youth Championship, which begins this weekend.

The mission of the scouts in Senegal is to run the rule over the players of the Nigeria Under 20 national team, with a view to recommending the outstanding players to Tippeligaen teams.

The Flying Eagles squad fit the profile of players Norwegian teams are in the market for, with their philosophy of buying youngsters at a relatively low price, and sell them to bigger European teams at a premium in future.

Look no further than Anthony Ujah, ex Lillestrom striker who was sold to Mainz, Odion Ighalo who joined Udinese from Lyn Oslo and Nosa Igiebor, ex Lillestrom midfielder.

A representative of Swedish club Kalmar will also be in the stands to watch Taiwo Awoniyi at the AYC.
