Former Golden Eaglets captain, Samson Tijani, is on the verge of completing a transfer to Czech Republic First Division club, Dukla Prague, from Austrian giants Red Bull Salzburg.
The 23-year-old Nigerian midfielder arrived in the Czech Republic on Wednesday and is scheduled to undergo medical examinations on Thursday to finalize the move.
Challenging Stint at Salzburg
Since joining Red Bull Salzburg in 2020, Tijani has struggled to establish himself at the Austrian club, making only three league appearances in four years. His time at Salzburg has been marked by loan spells at four different clubs and setbacks from long-term injuries.
The move to Dukla Prague represents a fresh opportunity for the midfielder to revitalize his career in European football after a challenging period.
National Team Background
Tijani rose to prominence when he captained Nigeria's Golden Eaglets to the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil, showcasing leadership qualities and technical abilities that earned him his move to Europe.
The transfer to the Czech top-flight could provide Tijani with the playing time needed to develop his potential and possibly work his way back into contention for national team selection at senior level.
BenriNews will provide updates on Tijani's medical results and official confirmation of the transfer as information becomes available.
