Success, who has represented Nigeria at U17 and U20 levels, is one of four foreign-based pros who have made the final cut for the U23 AFCON in Senegal, which will serve as qualifying tournament for the 2016 Rio Olympics.

The others are Taiwo Awoniyi (Germany), Azubuike Okechukwu (Turkey) and Junior Ajayi (Tunisia).

Last season, Granada barely escaped relegation from the Spanish top flight.
