Two football giants in Spanish La Liga are jostling to sign Charles Agada.
The exploits of Agada, Mavlon FC of Lagos striker and Golden Eaglets attacker in the round leather game has caught the attention of Sevilla and Athletico Madrid, both clubs are already having cold war in the tussle to get the signature of the Nigerian Eaglet.
The JSS 3 student of Palmville College in Lagos is a definition of a bullish striker, very strong, skillful, highly pacy, blessed with bullet shots and very clinical in front of goal.
He has all the characteristics of a striker that will cause different kinds of nightmare to defenders and goalkeepers in Europe, if he continues to develop his game and both Athletico Madrid and Sevilla are promising to give him the needed environment at their respective clubs.
For football fans, coaches and stakeholders that have watched Agada in the colours of the Golden Eaglets at the NFF/FIFA goal project, MKO Abiola stadium in Abuja will not be surprised that top European clubs are clamouring to sign the teenage striker.
Agada has been very prolific for Mavlon FC. He scored seven goals in eight games for the club during the 21 days training tour in Bulgaria last year, as he became the cynosure of all eyes at Evima Sports Complex in Bulgaria.
