Italian Serie A side Salernitana has concluded all the formalities for the transfer of former Nigeria U20 forward Chukwubuikem Ikwuemessi, OwnGoalNigeria.com understands.
We gathered that an agreement has already been reached with his Slovenian side NK Celje, where he ended last season with nine goals and five assists. He is expected later today for a routine medical.
Ikwuemessi was few details away from joining French Ligue 1 side Le Havre but the move broke down owing to a disagreement on personal terms and also length of the contract.
The 22 year old was a part of the coach Ladan Bosso U20 team of 2020 that failed to make it past the group stages of the WAFU B championship, hence failing to qualify for the U20 Africa Cup of Nations.
