Nigerian Transfer News LIVE:

From the Super Eagles to the Super Falcons, Nigerian stars have made serious waves in the market over the past few weeks.

Still, the business is nowhere near complete, with plenty of eleventh-hour negotiations underway ahead of the deadline. Look below to see some recent deals.

Victor Osimhen to Barcelona

As it stands, it is very unlikely that Victor Osimhen will move to Barcelona this summer. This comes as the reigning Spanish champions are set to complete the signing of Gabriel Jesus from Barcelona.

The Blaugrana have been in search of a striker since Robert Lewandowski left at the end of last season.

Sani Suleman

19-year-old winger Sani Suleman has been strongly linked with a transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al Qadsiah.

The move is gathering momentum, and since he has not enjoyed a lot of game time since arriving in Liepzig, he will likely be open to the move if the money is right.

If everything is finalized, the transfer could be completed in the coming days. Read more here.
