0Last year, in April, Flamengo announced and obtained the signing of a year of young Nigerian striker Shola Ogundana, from Nigeria's Remo Stars, for the season sub-20. However, to make him a definitive athlete by 2024, the club will have to make a considerable investment. Ogundana is also known as Africa Mamba, a YouTuber specializing in African football.
”The expectation is that he will make a transition (base and professional), play in the next São Paulo Junior Football Cup and mature. The idea is that the end of the year will be adapted to Brazilian football. Leaving Nigeria and going to Brazil is not easy either. Shola is fast and stands out for his assistance. There are 18 games and 10 passes for goals. Finally, Fla will have to pay 500 thousand dollars (R$ 2.4 million) if it wants to remain with Ogundana”, said the influencer.
If the athlete demonstrates a good performance in the under-20 team from the club, the Nigerian has a great chance of being taken advantage of by coach Tite. The coach has always valued players with speed characteristics, as happened with Everton Cebolinha, Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo.
