Olawale: Why Borussia Dortmund and Lille target joined Hapoel Ra'anana

Tripple 44 Academy boss Samuel Olatunji-Okuku explains why Peter Olawale joined Hapoel Ra’anana despite being linked with Borussia Dortmund, Anderlecht, Lille and Besiktas.

The 18-year-old had been tracked by the quartet, while there was also reported interest from Vitoria de Guimaraes and Fenerbahce following his impressive outing at the 2019 U17 Fifa World Cup in Brazil, where Nigeria failed to soar.

Nevertheless, the attacking sensation picked Israel as the destination to continue his development – a decision that has generated a buzz in the media.
