Egbedi Close To Danish Club Deal

Flying Eagles’ striker to the last FIFA Under-20 World Cup, Edafe Egbedi, is set to complete his switch to Danish side, Aarhus GF.

SuperSport.com reported that Egbedi, 18, will sign a three-year contract with the Danish outfit this week.

Contrary to reports that Egbedi was at Aarhus on trial, it has been learnt that the striker is expected seal a straight deal, as his representative checks the contract papers.

Egbedi is also expected to undergo a medical examination before he pens a three-year deal with the Danish club.

“We have details on the contract to agree on the signing of Edafe in the next days with the Denmark team. He is not going for a trial, as he will get a medical check and after the medical check we are signing the contract for him there. He will sign a three-year contract at the end of this week,” SuperSport.com was informed.

Egbedi was one of the Flying Eagles’ key men at 2011 FIFA Under-20 World Championship in Colombia, where Nigeria finished as one of the final eight sides.

Aarhus GF had earlier handed Kayode Thompson Abiodun of Sunshine Stars a test.

The Sunshine Stars’ man impressed officials of Aarhus GF but is still being kept in view by the club.

Abiodun has since returned to Nigeria with Aarhus GF promising to keep tab on his development.
