The young Nigerian striker Favour Ayobamidele is undergoing trials at Benfica. The player, who is only 16 years old, is being observed by the Portuguese club's technical team.
This is not the first time a young Nigerian has been associated with Benfica. The Portuguese club has a history of investing in young players from Nigeria, some of whom have gone on to establish themselves in European football.
Ayobamidele's participation in training comes at a time when Benfica is looking to strengthen their attack with young and promising talent. The trials serve to evaluate the player's technical and physical abilities before any decision about a possible signing.
At only 16 years old, Ayobamidele represents the investment profile that major European clubs have been seeking: young players with development potential and high resale value in the future.
