French Club Amiens Nears Completion of Loan Deal for Nigerian Striker Olanrewaju Kayode
In a potential breakthrough for Nigerian footballer Olanrewaju Kayode, reports from France suggest that the talented striker is on the verge of a move to French club Amiens. Currently on loan at Spanish LaLiga outfit Girona from Manchester City, Kayode has found it challenging to secure regular playing time, failing to score in any of his 13 appearances across all competitions, with 12 of those coming in LaLiga. Although the 24-year-old has made valuable contributions as a substitute, tallying two assists, his limited opportunities have left him seeking a fresh start elsewhere.
Initially, there were rumors linking Kayode with a potential move to Turkey. However, reputable French media outlet RMC has now revealed that the Nigerian forward is on the cusp of joining Ligue 1 side Amiens. While minor financial details still need to be ironed out, RMC is confident that a deal is imminent. It is worth noting that Kayode encountered delays returning to Spain after his Christmas break in Nigeria, primarily due to paperwork complications.
Amiens, currently positioned 16th in the Ligue 1 table with 22 points from 21 games, find themselves just one point above the relegation zone. The potential acquisition of Kayode, initially on loan from Manchester City, signals the club’s ambition to bolster their attacking options. It is understood that Amiens intends to solidify the move permanently during the summer transfer window.
Kayode, a rising star in Nigerian football, possesses impressive potential, and the loan switch to Amiens could provide the platform he needs to showcase his talents on a consistent basis. The French club, renowned for nurturing young talent, will be eager to capitalize on Kayode’s abilities as they strive to secure their place in Ligue 1.
The completion of this deal would mark a significant milestone in Kayode’s career, offering him the opportunity to reignite his scoring prowess and make a lasting impact in French football. Football enthusiasts and fans alike eagerly anticipate the official confirmation of this transfer, as it promises to be a turning point in the trajectory of the talented Nigerian striker.
