FC Midtjylland have added another promising Nigerian name to their books, announcing the signing of 18-year-old midfield talent Lucky Clement from their long-term partner club, FC Ebedei, Soccernet.ng reports .
The Danish side, famed for its eye for Nigerian talent, has already successfully launched the European careers of Paul Onuachu, Frank Onyeka, and Raphael Onyedika - all of whom began their journeys at Ebedei before making their mark in Denmark and beyond. Now, Lucky Clement has been tipped to follow in their footsteps.
Clement has signed on to feature for Midtjylland's U19 team for the upcoming campaign, a side widely regarded as one of Denmark's finest at youth level. And if early impressions are anything to go by, FC Midtjylland may have unearthed another gem.
Born and raised in the rugged terrain of Jalingo in North eastern Nigeria, Clement's playing style is as gritty as his roots.
For Clement, the move to Midtjylland marks a significant moment in a journey that began years ago.
