Its a small step up but it can lead to better things. I hope he has an outstanding season with lots of man of the match performances. All the best bro
Very aggressive midfielder with a good close control of the ball…. Nigeria national team needs natural central midfielders like this
I don’t know why Nigeria players step up is always slow irrespective of their high praises in their former clubs while seeing kamaldeen sulemana making it to Rennes in the French lique1 from lowly nordsjaeland in Denmark…
You would have expected this Alhassan of a guy to have made such top5 league move but no!
Well, best of luck in your new adventure Alhassan!
