According to leaks gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com's Editorial staff, Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock have successfully  beaten the registration deadline and have signed the Nigeria international stopper Papa Idris.

This portal reported on Friday that Papa Idris, 23,  signed a three - year deal with Kilmarnock, who sit sixth on the table after Saturday's 1 - 0 win over Ross County.

But the necessary paperwork was absent and the Scottish club had been racing against the clock to formalize the contract.

Now, everything is in place and Papa Idris, who has been granted a work permit, will leave for Scotland as early as Monday evening subject to availability of flights.

In addition, the very efficient administrative department of the Nigeria Federation has sent Idris's International Transfer Certificate to Scotland.

Papa Idris will link up with two Nigeria internationals - Reuben Gabriel and Rabiu Ibrahim. - at Rugby Park.

He had attracted interest from teams in France, Italy and Croatia before pitching his tent with Kilmarnock.
