Published: January 08, 2020

Russian Premier League club FC Tambov have mutually terminated the contracts of two former Nigeria U23 internationals.

Tambov have informed via their official website that midfielders Usman Mohammed and Ivorian-born Olabiran Muyiwa are no longer in the employment of the club.

Muyiwa, who was part of the Dream Team VII squad at the 2019 U23 AFCON Cup of Nations, moved to Tambov in 2018 after spells with teams in Moldova, Uzbekistan and Belarus.

The 21-year-old is credited with 35 appearances for Tambov scoring three goals, one of which came on his Russian Premier League debut against Zenit St Petersburg.

Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kiev have confirmed through their official webpage that Olabiran has agreed a three-and-a-half-year contract, subject to the player passing his medical on Friday, January 10.

Former Barcelona trialist Mohammed played only two official matches before ending his association with Tambov.

A member of Nigeria's Olympic Team to Rio in 2016, he lists Ranchers Bees, FC Taraba, FC Pyunik Erewan and Sarpsborg 08 FF as his previous clubs.
