Antwerp shining star Alhassan Yusuf could well swell the number of Nigeria stars in the glamorous Premier League in England.
This is after his impressive run with his Belgian club has already attracted the interest of Leicester City and Brentford, SCORENigeria can exclusively report.
Leeds United were also hot in the chase of the versatile midfielder, before they eventually opted for an American option.
However, Antwerp could now be the stumbling block in his immediate move to England as they hope to win the Belgian league after a disappointing showing last term.
Alhassan, 22, has endeared himself to new coach Mark van Bommel, who sees him as his younger version and who can go all the way to the top as a combative box-to-box midfielder.
Alhassan has so far scooped two Man of the Match Awards with Antwerp top of the league standings with four wins in as many matches thus far.
He has played every minute of the four games in the league.
