Ibrahim Hafiz Umar Set to Join Chelsea After A Successful Trial
In an exciting development for Chelsea and Nigerian football fans, 18-year-old striker Ibrahim Hafiz Umar is on the verge of joining the Blues after an impressive trial with the club’s academy.
Recall that Govima Sports reported some months ago about the striker’s decision to ignore a deal from Norway side Bødo Glint and rather choose to go on trial at Chelsea.
Now according to information from our correspondents in London, Chelsea are very close to finalizing a deal with Ojodu City Academy Lagos, the club from which Umar hails. The Blues are currently deliberating whether to loan the talented young forward to their partner club, Strasbourg, or to secure his services directly for Chelsea FC.
Hafiz Umar’s potential move to Chelsea marks a significant milestone in his promising career, reflecting the positive impressions he made during his trial period. The decision to either loan him to Strasbourg or integrate him into the Chelsea setup will be pivotal in shaping his development and future contributions to the team.
