Top agent Marcelo Houseman has said he has
taken Nigerian players to Europe through
Argentina so as to shore up the value of the
players.
Houseman recently moved Sunshine Stars striker
Afolabi Okiki to Tallerres de Cordoba in Argentina.
“Argentina is today the best football country in
the world. This year alone we have exported twice
the number of players Brazil have. So, think of
what a scout from Europe would think if he
comes to watch a league game in Argentina and
he sees one Nigerian player on the pitch with 21
players from Argentina,” he reasoned.
“The league in Argentina will also toughen and
make a player from Nigeria more professional
before he finally makes the bigger move to
Europe.
“After a Nigerian player has proved himself in
Argentina, he could then be sold to Europe for
several million dollars.”
Houseman, who has worked with several Nigeria
stars like Obinna Nsofor, Odion Ighalo and
Solomon Okoronkwo over time, further disclosed
Okiki has gradually settle to life and the football
in Argentina.
“Very soon, he will make his debut for the main
team because they love him there and he has
been working very hard,” he reported.
