Flying Eagles captain, Abduljaleel Ajagun, has signed a four-year contract with top Greek club Panathinaikos after prolonged negotiations.
His Port Harcourt-based club Dolphins will receive a transfer fee of 200,000 Euros and Panathinaikos have promised to pay this within the week.
It was gathered that Panathinaikos and Dolphins have reached an agreement over the transfer of Ajagun to Greece on Tuesday. The player has even resumed training with Pana.
Ajagun’s signing was delayed for several days after the Greek club insisted on an exhaustive medical for the clever central midfielder.
Amid these speculations and uncertainties, Ajagun featured for the club in a test game against the Panathinaikos U-21 side on Monday, playing 40 minutes.
Ajagun featured at the recent U-20 World Cup in Turkey, scoring three goals as the Flying Eagles reached the Round of 16 before they were eliminated by Uruguay.
Thereafter, several clubs from Turkey and Croatia were keen to sign him before he opted for Panathinaikos, who are expected to give him a decent run in the first team because they now have a young squad caused by their financial problems.
