Home Eagles Sensation Sunday Faleye Nears Move to Austrian Giants Austria Wien

In a significant development for Nigerian football, Home-based Super Eagles forward Sunday Faleye is on the brink of a move to the Austrian Bundesliga, with talks reportedly in progress between the player’s representatives and Austrian Wien, according to Completesportsnigeria.com.

Faleye’s standout performance during the African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Morocco, where he notched a goal in four games, garnered attention despite his tournament being cut short by an elbow injury sustained in the quarter-final clash against Angola. The injury, however, did little to dampen the interest of potential suitors.

Sources close to the player revealed that Austria Wien is currently leading the race to secure Faleye’s services. “Austria Wien are in pole position to sign Sunday Faleye. Talks are ongoing between his representatives and the club,” stated a reliable source familiar with the negotiations. “Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the move will be announced in the next few days.”

Austria Wien, who already boasts former Akwa United midfielder Ibrahim Alhassan among their ranks, appears poised to reinforce their squad with the addition of the talented Nigerian forward.

Faleye, a product of Nigeria Nationwide League club Freestan FC, showcased his prowess while playing for Shooting Stars Sports Club of Ibadan in the Nigeria Professional Football League last season. As the discussions progress, football enthusiasts eagerly await the official confirmation of Faleye’s anticipated move to Austria Wien, marking a significant chapter in his burgeoning career.
