Under-17 national team, Golden Eaglets all-action striker at the 2007 U-17 World Cup in South Korea, Kabiru Akinsola has sealed a lucrative deal with Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia.
The report out of the north African country revealed that the beaten 2008 CAF Confederation Cup finalists have handed a lengthy contract to the 18-year-old Akinsola, who scored the winning goal for the Eaglets in the final of the 2007 African Junior Championship in Togo.
Akinsola joins a long list of the victorious Eaglets, who have gone on to sign for clubs abroad, while joining up with them in the under-20 camp, Flying Eagles ahead of this month's African Youth Championship in Rwanda.
Akinsola is expected to return to Etoile, who will this year try to reclaim the CAF Champions League trophy they won in 2007.
Etoile already have another Nigerian striker, Emeka Opara, who is in his second spell at the Sousse-based Tunisian outfit.
