Ogu Denied Visa To Holland

Promising Nigerian striker Ogu Ezouchku will not travel with the rest of his Ironi Kiryat Shmona F.C. teammates for a training camp in Holland after he was denied a visa by the Dutch Embassy in Israel.

The decision of the Dutch diplomats will come as a surprise because the Premier League vice - champions had also applied for a visa for Bolivia international Luis Gutiérrez which was successful.

In addition, the 19 - year - old Ogu Ezouchku has a valid Israeli work permit.

The teenager impressed for the youth team of Ironi Kiryat Shmona last season, and the highlight of his performance was netting a hat - trick against Maccabi Tel Aviv Under 19s last December.

Ogu Ezouchku is under contract with the 2012 champions for the next four seasons.
