Slavia found a stopper in Norway. A Nigerian defender is to come from Lilleström
The clubs should have already been agreed upon and Ogbu should have been given the green light to go to Prague for a medical check-up. This should be the last obstacle to completing the transfer.
Ogbu has been working in Lilleström for two years, he transferred to it from Sogndal in January 2021. In the last season of the Norwegian league, which is played in the spring-autumn system, he played in twenty-eight games and scored three goals.

Slavia’s stoppers were not very convincing in the fall, so the coaching staff of head coach Jindřich Trpišovský sought another central defender. In Norway, she was already looking for a player for this position, in the past she tried to get Sheriff Sinyan from Molde, but failed. However, it is possible that he is still on his radar.
It is interesting that Sparta, which recently brought in Finnish midfielder Kaan Kairinen from there, caught in Lilleström before the red and whites.
So far, during the winter break, the Stitched have brought midfielder Petr Hronek from Bohemians and full back or midfielder David Pech from Mladá Boleslav.
