The academy is the nursery team of Nigeria Professional Football League side Remo Stars, owned by business tycoon Kunle Soname, he is also the owner of second division Portuguese side Feirense.
Shola was sighted by the Brazilian team during the last Viareggio youth tournament in Italy, where he represented the academy. He was at the stadium to watch the team play in their last game in the Brazilian championship.
We gathered the idea is for him to start with the B team of the side, where his progress will be monitored for a possible promotion to the first team in the nearest future. He is the latest in a long list of young players who have been snapped up by foreign teams from the academy that is based in Ikenne.
