Raheem Lawal
Nigeria Olympic team star Raheem Lawal has told MTNFootball.com he has received several offers including one from English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.
Lawal, from Atletico Belares in the Spanish Secunda division, stole the shine in the Dream Team’s 4-1 win over Algeria with the only hat-trick of the entire Olympic qualifying tournament in Morocco.
His treble has now attracted offers from Tottenham Hotspur, Lyon of France as well as top Egyptian club Zamalek.
“I have had several offers coming my way following my performance in the game against Algeria,” the versatile midfielder told MTNFootball.com
“French side Olympic Lyon have indicated interest, so also has English premiership side Tottenham and Zamalek of Egypt, who have been persistent in calls with a mouth watering offer.”
However, the former Flying Eagles star, who can play in all defensive position and as an attacking midfielder, stated that he is no in a rush but hopes to make the right move by January.
“I am not in a hurry, I will take my time and by the grace of God make the right decision,” he said.
This week, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) picked him in the tournament XI for the inaugural U23 Championship in Morocco.
