AS Monaco has made a bold move in the transfer market, reportedly set to acquire 17-year-old Nigerian forward George Ilenikhena from Royal Antwerp, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
The future potential of Ilenikhena is clearly evident, as evidenced by the hefty €20 million price tag Monaco is prepared to pay.
To secure his services, the French giants have reportedly scheduled the young striker’s medical for this week, aiming to finalize the deal swiftly.
The move comes on the back of a promising season for Ilenikhena at Royal Antwerp.
The Lagos-born talent showcased his finishing ability by scoring 14 goals and providing an assist in 50 appearances across all competitions.
Monaco is clearly betting on Ilenikhena’s potential to develop into a world-class striker, and this move represents a significant step up in his young career.
