Nigerian teenage midfield sensation, Ammeer Auwal Suleiman, has signed for second-tier Croatian side, Nogometni Klub Rudeš, from Ojodu City FC in Lagos, Soccernet.ng reports.
Popularly referred to as ‘Kaka’, the 18-year-old creative midfielder was a part of the Ojodu City FC side that participated in the 2024 Viareggio tournament in Italy, helping his team to the semi-finals where they lost to the eventual winners, Beyond Limits Football Academy.
The midfielder’s performance caught the eye of several scouts on their tour in Italy, and following several negotiations, he’ll join up with NK Rudeš in Croatia.
