Raheem Sterling has urged Nigerian youngster Hafiz Ibrahim to seize the opportunity and accept a two-week trial at Chelsea.
Ibrahim, who currently plays for Nigerian club Ojodu City, has been invited to showcase his skills with the Blues over the next two weeks, aiming to secure a contract with the London club.
Having recently emerged as the top scorer in the Viareggio Cup with an impressive tally of 10 goals in six games, Ibrahim is eager to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional footballer.
Reports suggest that Sterling played a pivotal role in persuading Ibrahim to take up the trial, engaging in a direct video call conversation with the promising talent.
Although Ibrahim was previously courted by Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt, negotiations reportedly fell through last month due to failure to reach agreement on terms.
