“He loves Nigeria. By His Grace we shall conclude the switch very soon.”
However, it’s not feasible whether the switch will be completed before next year’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Lookman of Nigerian descent who joined Leicester City this summer on loan now trains alongside Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi at his new club.
