Spanish La Liga<\/a> side Leganes appears to be the new home of Nigerian stars after they announced the signing of Flying Eagles star Success Makanjuola.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old will be joining Los Pepineros who already have Super Eagles stars, Kenneth Omeruo and Chidozie Awaziem in their ranks. He signs a three year deal with the club although it is unclear if he will be joining the first team straight away.<\/p>\n

??Success Makanjuola finally joins Omeruo and Awaziem at CD Leganes, after visa issues.<\/p>\n

\u2022 He will begin his European career with the club youth team.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, he will be hoping he is given the chance to help turn Leganes fortunes around. Los Pepineros currently sit at the bottom of the La Liga table, six points adrift of safety.<\/p>\n

The Mauricio Andr\u00e9s Pellegrino Luna led side face Getafe on Saturday, a game which may come too soon for Makanjuola, but the Flying Eagles star could make his debut when the team welcome Mallorca next weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
