Flying Eagles winger Sani Suleiman has officially sealed a permanent transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al Qadsiah.

He did his routine medicals in Madrid, Spain, before he headed out to Saudi Arabia.

The 20-year-old winger failed to meet high expectations at Bundesliga club RB Liepzig, when he signed up in January.

The transfer to Saudi Arabia is worth around 10 million euros.

He has now signed a three-year contract with an option for an additional year.

Falconets of Nigeria have received a major boost ahead of today’s crucial U20 World Cup clash against China after Benfica striker Janet ‘Semenya’ Akekoromowei rejoined the squad.

Nigeria have been in a tug-of-war with Benfica over the striker’s release for the World Cup.

She was the first player to arrive in Poland for the tournament only for her Portuguese club to order her back to base after claiming they did not clear her for the competition.

The Falconets lacked fire power when they fell 2-0 to European champions Spain in their opening group game and Semenya, who has been capped by both the Super Falcons and Flamingos, will now be expected to be thier main goals threat.

China re top of the group after a 5-0 bashing of debutants New Caledonia.
