Nigerian winger, Seun Akanji has joined Norwegian top-flight club Lillestrøm on a long-term deal, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The 16-year-old, who previously played for Sporting Lagos in the Nigeria National League, impressed during trials with Lillestrøm and has been handed a contract.
Akanji reportedly received offers from several European clubs but opted for a move to Norway.
Due to FIFA regulations, Akanji will not be eligible to play for Lillestrøm until the summer of 2026, when he turns 18.
However, the club has secured his rights through a club agreement.
Lillestrøm, five-time Norwegian champions, have a history of recruiting Nigerian talent, having signed Kparobo Ariheri from Remo Stars last year.
