Saudi Calling

By IKENWA NNABUOGOR

Victor Osihmen’s all but set to head East for a great turbanning ceremony in the Saudi Arabian capital city of Riyahd as the Sheikhs are almost waiting for the huge occasion with Al-Ahli hosting.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Osihmen’s one foot is already in the Gulf with the other one expected as talks have advanced to almost the rubber-stamping stage.

Personal terms also reportedly agreed as the two teams are still locked in talks as per the transfer fees to be paid. Osihmen’s most definitely not going to go for €120 million as his evaluation has crashed over time. It appears the fees might likely not exceed the region of €70 million.

Osihmen might as well as be hailed as the new player of Al-Ahli, laying to rest weeks of transfer uncertainties that have threatened to unsettle the Super Eagles’ talisman.

Chelsea are still holding out for a loan move, which Osihmen has continued to frown at and should the news of the Bridge still bear the colour of the proposed loan offer, Osihmen’s just some details away as the brand new Al-Ahli player.

This isn’t aborting the European mission as Osihmen, himself, had earlier poured cold water on the Gulf move, clauses inserted in the contact have sorted that out as Europe isn’t completely lost on Osihmen’s radar.

The nautical miles to the Gulf appear to be the only serious route Osihmen’s space jet is given permission to land with the vibes coming from the French capital eventually becoming deadbeats, Osihmen’s finally come home.

The coming days will end the acts, scenes and episodes of the most watched transfer soap opera involving the beautiful game’s biggest Nigerian “Hollywood” actor, Victor Osihmen.
