36 Lion Product Azeez Oseni Joins FC Spartak Trnava

-

 



 36 Lion of Lagos mercurial midfielder, Azeez Oseni joined one of the leading European Club side, FC Spartak Trnava of Slovak.


The Lagos-based largest academy team announced the new deal on Tuesday in a statement by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the club, Hajj Gafar Liameed.


Hajji Gafar stated that sealing the deal for Azeez to join the former Slovak league champions was a deliberate and at same time herculean and successful task.


“Signing with European clubs as a No. 10 is a herculean task; it’s a top class position but Azeez is also a top class talent, a Champions League material.


“He was always laidback so we deliberately delayed his move to Europe for 16 months to sharpen him up and now he understands life better. His case is not only forcing the horse to the stream but also shoving a gallon of water down the horse’s throat.


“This is another result of eight years’ patience and rigorous developmental processes,” he said.


Hajji added that “FIFA Agent Cem Sagar later took the center stage and struck this Spartak’s deal with respect to collaborations of Dusan Vrto, Hillary Azodo, Coach Austin Jibrin and Voja Gligorijevic. It is indeed a massive football division of Labour.”


Azeez, 20, is one of the tens of players the 36 Lions Football Club have produced and taken to European countries to further their careers.


After Boateng, Azeez is the second player whose transfer to Trnava was helped by Cem Sagar from Diamond Sports Management UK.


"This is my first professional contract and I am very happy that I passed the exam. Spartak is a club that can give me a lot and I believe I can make a name for myself. I would like to experience some triumph here. 


“I feel best as an offensive midfielder or underscore player, " said Oseni, who is a member of the Nigerian under-20 national team and played four qualifying duels to advance to the African Cup of Nations
