Another Nigerian Star Joins Kenneth Omeruo, Chidozie Awaziem At La Liga Side

Spanish La Liga side Leganes appears to be the new home of Nigerian stars after they announced the signing of Flying Eagles star Success Makanjuola.

The 18-year-old will be joining Los Pepineros who already have Super Eagles stars, Kenneth Omeruo and Chidozie Awaziem in their ranks. He signs a three year deal with the club although it is unclear if he will be joining the first team straight away.

Nevertheless, he will be hoping he is given the chance to help turn Leganes fortunes around. Los Pepineros currently sit at the bottom of the La Liga table, six points adrift of safety.

The Mauricio Andrés Pellegrino Luna led side face Getafe on Saturday, a game which may come too soon for Makanjuola, but the Flying Eagles star could make his debut when the team welcome Mallorca next weekend.
