Flying Eagles striker, Alhassan Ibrahim, is one step closer to sealing a professional deal with Croatia side HNK Rijeka after being included in their winter training camp squad in Spain.

 

Popularly known as Mu'azam, his participation at the African Youth Championship has been thrown into further doubts, as he will be with Rijeka in Spain on the 19th of January where they are expected to spend two weeks, before returning to pursue their dream of winning the league in Croatia where they currently trail leaders Dinamo Zagreb by seven points.

 

Rijeka are poised to sell top striker Andreij Kramaric to Leicester City and they believe the Nigerian, who has been on trial the past two months, can make up for his sale when the league resumes, as he has been impressive in training although they are yet to offer him a professional deal.

 

SL10.ng learnt the club will offer him a two-year deal with an option of a further year after the training camp in Spain.
