Photo Confirmation : Nigeria U17 Hopeful Omidiji Training With West Ham United
Published: May 03, 2019Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Premier League side West Ham United are plotting a move for Nigeria U15 international Lateef Omidiji.
The Go Ahead Eagles striker has spent the past one week being shown around the Hammers' Academy of Football facilities ahead of a potential move when he's eligible to sign a contract with a non-Dutch club.
Omidiji is training with West Ham U15 and U16 teams and sometimes with their U18 squad.
The 15-year-old was invited by West Ham as there is interest and he'll also be looking elsewhere as other English clubs are interested in his signature.
Championship club Nottingham Forest had invited him to train with the club in March before he joined the Golden Eaglets at their training camp in Abuja.
The ex-Feyenoord starlet was dropped from the Nigeria U17 squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
Omidiji's camp had earlier claimed that Arsenal were the front-runners for his signature but any agreement between the parties is not cast in stone as he's still a minor.
