Three Nigerian youngsters are shining in the Swedish third-tier league so much so that they have attracted interests from clubs in the bigger leagues.
Central defender Francis Dovi, 19; striker Chibueze Blessing Ejimole, 18 and midfielder Eric Ologe, 20, have proved they are a cut above the rest while featuring for BK Olympics in the Ettan league.
Sports director Ahmed Chahrour was delighted with the collaboration with a Nigerian academy.
“We got good players and the Ettan is a good place to showcase their talent,” he told Skanesport
“Our coach Anes Mravac believes that Francis can definitely become an Allsvenskan (Sweden top league) player. And Anes knows what is required, he has worked in the Allsvenskan. He is a fine-playing center-back who reminds a bit of Kanté – he runs a lot.
“Blessing has huge potential! He has an incredible stride, is fast and good in depth and scores.
“I think he can go very far. There is already interest from clubs in both Allsvenskan and Superettan (second division) who have contacted us.”
