Portuguese giants Benfica are set to face stiff competition from Netherlands outfit Excelsior as the duo battle for the signature of Flying Eagles goal-poacher Rilwan Sarki.
The teenager is currently doing big things for the Flying Eagles of Nigeria, the most recent was his Performance against the Junior Chipolopolo of Zambia during an international friendly in Abuja last week.
In that match, he scored the opener and have two of his goals denied by the woodwork; at the time of his substitution, the kid was given a standing ovation.
Revelation from a football agent based in Portugal has it that Benfica has been monitoring the teenager since their camp reopened in January this year, and will make a final decision after the tournament in Egypt.
Benfica is known for harvesting grassroots players and turning them into world-class; no doubt it will surely be a good move for the Nigerian if the deal goes through.
