Ademo signs for Sheriff, who stunned Madrid 1-2 at home in the Champions League two seasons ago.

The 20-year-old, who started his football career with Lagos-based amateur side Real Sapphire, initially moved to Latvian side BFC Daugavpils in the summer of 2021, where he struggled to make an impact before going on loan to Dainava.

Known for his vision and excellent passing skills, the midfielder, was who playing as recently as 2019 for an amateur club in Lagos, has got the chance to play for a club that regularly plays in European competitions – and the club that stunned Read Madrid at their stadium just two seasons ago.

He has yet to represent Nigeria at any level in qualification or tournament, and he would surely hope to one day get a chance to represent his darling country.
