Kogi-born Gbenga Arokoyo is set
to begin his European career at
Swedish Club, Mjallby AIF.
The Kabba-born central defender
is a product of Kwara Football
Academy.
The officials of the Swedish team
spent time in Ilorin, the Kwara
State capital to see the defender,
who is in his second season on
loan at Premier League side,
Kwara United.
The central defender has since
wormed his way into the heart
of Super Eagles supremo,
Stephen Keshi, and was on the
bench when the Eagles played a
barren draw with Angola on the
eve of the Afcon.
Administrator of the KFA, Kumbi
Titiloye, confirmed the
development.
“We expect him to travel soon
since the club is satisfied with
his performance. Arokoyo is one
of the best players the Academy
has produced,” he said
Arokoyo made an impressive
debut in the NPL last term and
attracted the interests of several
teams in Europe and Africa.
He was a regular as Nigeria’s
Under20 team won the Africa
Youth Championship in South
Africa, but missed the World Cup
party, in Colombia.
Mjallby is based in Hällevik.
