Flying Eagles striker Arierhi completes Lillestrøm move

Flying Eagles and Beyond Limits (Remo Stars Academy) striker, Kparobo Arierhi, has completed his move to Norwegian top-flight club, Lillestrøm SK.

The transfer has been in the pipeline since last year with the youngster expected to complete the deal in the January transfer window when he clocks 18.

Arierhi joined the Canaries from the Nigeria National League outfit after a successful season in the second division plus a successful trial at the Norwegian club last year.

The 18-year-old has been a sensation in Nigerian amateur league, The Creative Championship where he scored 22 goals in 15 games last season to propel Beyond Limits to their fourth title.

He also earned a call-up to the Nigerian U-20 team, shining at the WAFU B tournament with three goals, including two in the final against Ghana to help Nigeria win the title.

“From, TCC, NLO, NNL, Gothia Cup, MLS/Adidas Cup, Viareggio Cup, Flying Eagles. We are sure you would have #NoLimits as you take on European football. Everyone at the academy is behind you, Kparobo,” his parent club, Beyond Limits wrote on Monday.

Former Super Eagles forward, Victor Ikpeba had also tipped the youngster for greatness.

“We first saw him at my 5-a-side tournament in Warri and he has been growing ever since,” he told SCORENigeria.

“At Beyond Limits Academy he is in the best environment to get to the next level.

 “He’s a young lad and it’s still early days, he is a big talent and I hope he fulfils his potential.”
