My people, football no dey sleep o! This one na fresh gist wey dey hot for the transfer market. E get as Chelsea and Manchester City don dey monitor one young star wey dey make waves for Atalanta, Honest Ahanor. This boy no reach 18 years, but him don already secure plenty eyes for him back!

Ahanor, wey just land Atalanta from Genoa this summer for €20 million, don quickly turn one of the most valuable defenders for Europe. Na so he dey shine, dey show say he sabi play both for left-back and center-back positions. This season, he don feature 13 times across all competitions, even don score one goal. Na wah!

But no be only Chelsea dey eye Ahanor o! Man City dey seriously follow am like say dem wan carry am go their side. Even many other big European clubs don enter the mata too. Na the kind competition wey dey for dis boy wey make am hot cake for the next transfer window!

As e be now, Ahanor never don play for any national team level due to the wahala wey dey with Italian citizenship law. E born for Campania, Italy, but him parents na Nigerian, so dem dey delay am from national duty. Even though he no fit play for Italy now, he don dey top Nigeria Super Eagles radar too.

For the football industry, plenty pipo dey raise alarm sey this citizenship wahala fit make many talent waka go play for their parents’ country instead of waiting till dem turn 18 to grab Italian citizenship. Na im be sey, Ahanor fit wait till him turn 18 for February, before dem go give am Italian passport and eligibility to play for Italy. But if dem no act fast, we fit see am don wear Nigeria jersey instead!

As for the game itself, experts don talk say Ahanor get the potential to become one of the best in the world by the time he reach 20. E fit just be the next Paolo Maldini wey Italy dey pray for, but dem need to quickly fix this citizenship issue. Otherwise, e go turn bad business for their defense!

So my people, as we dey look forward to the January transfer window, make we dey sharp, e go dey interesting to see which club go finally snap up this kid wey don dey turn heads for Serie A. Chelsea wey dey lead the race go gree pay as e be, while Man City no go sleep on top this matter. Naija no go forget our boy if him decide to follow Italy or Nigeria, na we dey watch am!
