Heard the news? Atlético seal deal for the 'new Dembélé' | OneFootball

Atlético have agreed the signings of Nigerians Taiwo Alao and Olasunkanmi Abbas, aged 18 and 17 respectively.

A winger developed at Sporting Lagos in Nigeria, Alao is regarded as skillful, quick, and strong in one-on-one situations.

With those traits, when he was loaned to Ikorodu City, he ended up being nicknamed Dembélé by the African club, where he played six matches.

At 18, Taiwo Alao signed a three-year contract with Galo, where he will be able to develop with the under-20 team.

Olansunkanmi Abbas, meanwhile, signed a pre-contract with Atlético and will also sign a three-year deal in January, when he turns 18.

Considered a "promising talent" in Nigeria, Abbas is described as a defensive midfielder with great intensity.
