Rafiu Durosinmi shun EPL clubs to join Eintracht Frankfurt in €9 million deal

Nigerian fast-rising striker, Rafiu Durosinmi has joined Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt from Czech First League club, Viktoria Plzen.

There were initial reports that  Durosinmi was on the radar of EPL clubs namely Brighton and Wolves.

The clubs were reportedly willing to pay Viktoria Plzen’s asking price, but the 20-year-old striker prefered to move to Germany to continue his career thus following the footsteps of Jay Jay Okocha who made his name in the Bundesliga while playing for Eintracht Frankfurt.

The German Bundesliga club, paid Plzen the sum of €9 million to complete the purchase of Rafiu Durosinmi ahead of other suitors, according to German publication, BILD.

The Nigerian youngster is already in Germany and his medical has been booked, which means that the club is expected to officially announce the deal in the coming days.

Durosinmi is now the second transfer deal Frankfurt has completed ahead of the January transfer window after signing Donny van de Beek on loan from Manchester United.

Durosinmi is sure to come face to face with compatriot  Victor Boniface, who has been painting  Bayer Leverkusen red with goals.

So far this season at Viktoria Plzen, Rafiu Durosinmi has scored 6 goals and provided 6 assists in 11 league games a feat which he will no doubt be eager to replicate for Frankfurt.
