Alampasu In Portugal, Not Spain. Says, Orelaja

Nigeria's Flying Eagles goaltender, Dele Sunday Alampasu  is in Portugal with a top division side, contrarily to speculation in some Nigeria media that the goalkeeper is on the verge of signing for 3rd tier Real Oviedo Spain.

In a telephone conversation with his Agent Olusola Orelaja, the young goalkeeper who turn 18 on the 24th December last year is with him in Portugal undergoing training with a top Division side. At this stage I will not like to disclose the club.

The club has been in search of the player after his outstanding performance in the U17 World Cup. He said lately he receive a call from the sporting director of the club who was able to reach him in London where Orelaja is based.

"I don't know where the story come from, all I know is that as I speak with you, I am in Portugal with Dele,  and hopefully in the next few days a deal for him will be concluded". Orelaja who is based in London stated on the Phone. Due to the club interest I spoke with the U20 gaffer to release Alampasu to attend  the club which might reach an agreement with him in couple of days.

Alampasu  who emerge the best goalkeeper at the last Under-17 FIFA World Cup 2013 in UAE could not sign a professional contract before now despite many interest from clubs across Europe because he was yet to attain the require age of 18 until late December hence the fight over his signature.

Orelaja noted that what is important to him is the career of the player, hence the reason why they are not rushing into signing a contract which at the end of the day will affect the development of the your goaltender.
