Alao Danbani, who starred for Ilorin-based Kwara United in the Nigeria Professional Football League last season, has made a giant leap by signing for Viktoria Plzen in Czech Republic. It is quite the move for the Nigerian as this means a chance at playing against top European heavyweights in the mother of all club competitions, the UEFA Champions League, beckons.
The centre forward, who scored 7 goals for the Harmony Boys in the just concluded season in the Nigeria Professional Football League, arrived in Czech Republic to complete the deal.
Viktoria Plzen are locked in the same group as German giants Bayern Munich, Serie A side Inter Milan and FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League this season. The team have a clash against Barcelona at the Spotify Camp Nou in the group opener next Tuesday.
Many Nigerian fans are hopeful Danbani flourishes at his new club.
