Portuguese giants SC Braga have signed Nigerian teenage defender Adebisi Olamikun from Nigeria Premier Football League club Inter Lagos, marking the latest step in the youngster’s promising career.
Inter Lagos announced the transfer on their official X account, confirming the departure of the 18-year-old, who has emerged as one of the country’s most exciting defensive prospects.
The left-footed centre-back is believed to have agreed to a long-term contract with Braga in a deal reportedly worth €50,000.
Olamikun has already linked up with the Portuguese side and will initially feature for Braga’s youth team as he continues his development with the aim of breaking into the senior squad. His move comes after an impressive spell at Inter Lagos, where his calmness on the ball, defensive intelligence and consistent performances attracted interest from Europe.
His transfer is another milestone for Inter Lagos, whose youth development programme continues to produce players capable of securing opportunities overseas.
Data from Transfermarkt shows Olamikun is the eighth Nigerian to join Braga, following in the footsteps of former Super Eagles defender Elderson Echiejile, a member of Nigeria’s 2013 Africa Cup of Nations-winning squad. The move offers the teenager a chance to continue his growth in one of Europe’s respected talent development systems.
