Swedish club Kalmar have handed a trial to Nigeria U20 international Chinedu Stephen Madueke with a view to signing him before the close of the winter transfer market in the country.

Kalmar have informed via their official website that Madueke will be monitored at close quarters when their U21 team face Helsingborg's IF on Monday.

The 19-year-old was part of the Golden Eaglets squad at the 2015 Fifa U17 World Cup in Chile, and was involved in matches against Croatia, Brazil, Mexico and the showpiece vs Mali.

''Chima Akas and Chinedu have the same advisor and from there we have got the tip," says sports director Thomas Andersson Borstam to kalmarff.se

"He's an offensive player who is technically skilled and good speed, who can play both midfield and forward.

''The important thing now is that he gets to know Kalmar FF and that we get to know him. Then we'll see what's happening further.''

Chinedu Stephen Madueke was registered as a player of Virgin Kids FC during the U17 World Cup, he is currently on the books of Portuguese club AD Camacha.
