Celtic, Club Brugge, FCK Target Odey Off To Abuja Tuesday, Agent Rules Out Move To Russia
The bonafide representative of Mountain of Fire sensation Stephen Odey has ruled out a transfer to the Russian Premier League in the summer transfer window.
FK Krasnodar have tested the waters regarding the acquisition of the leading scorer in the Nigeria Professional Football League, but his advisers would prefer him to start his career outside Nigeria with a Scandinavian team, FC Copenhagen to be specific, and have turned down the proposal from Russia.
''Odey is presently in Nigeria, he has been called up for the friendly against Corsica and will travel to Abuja tomorrow for a visa interview,'' a Mountain of Fire insider told allnigeriasoccer.com.
''We have heard of the interest from Celtic but they have not officially approached MFM. Agents representing teams in Germany, France and Club Brugge have officially written to MFM.
''We should not forget that Odey just left secondary school. He is still 19 and will not be allowed to go to Russia which is too cold. He will consider an offer from FC Copenhagen.''
Odey was signed by MFM after starring for Dairy Farm Senior Secondary, Agege during the GTB Principals Cup.
