Nigeria’s teenage sensation Elijah Odede has completed a move to French Ligue 2 club ESTAC Troyes from Moldovan champions Sheriff Tiraspol.
The 18-year-old forward, who only joined Sheriff earlier this year from Castle Football Academy in Nigeria, impressed in his short spell in Moldova, delivering goals in both the domestic league and European qualifiers. His performances quickly attracted attention from clubs across Europe.
Odede has now penned a five-year contract with Troyes, with reports indicating the deal was worth around €3 million.
