Allnigeriasoccer.com can confirm reports in the Tunisian press that Nigeria Under 20 international Bernard Bulbwa is currently in Tunis to thrash out terms with Esperance.

This website can exclusively report that there is still a point of conflict in negotiations between The Blood and Gold and the representative of the  Shuttle Sports Academy attacking midfielder, and it has to do with his wages.

If that sticking point can be settled in the next few days, Bernard Bulbwa will append his signature to a three - year contract, which will become activated in the summer.

“I am presently in Tunisia. I have not signed a contract with Esperance yet, ”  Bernard Bulbwa told allnigeriasoccer.com on Wednesday morning.

“We have not yet agreed on the figures they are offering. I hope to return as soon as possible to join the Dream Team.

“I have been offered a three - year deal already, I am the one who is still thinking. ”

The 19 - year - old believes he will develop at Esperance if he finally signs on the dotted line for the 26 - time Tunisian champions.

“Many young Nigerians have started from Esperance. If they can meet my manager’s demand, then it’s cool for me if I can start from here, ” Bulbwa added.

The offensive all - rounder put himself in the shop window at the African Youth Championship, scoring a wonder goal in the final  against Senegal.

And as they say, the rest is history.......
