Kazeem Ogunleye, a key midfielder for Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions Rangers International, is on the brink of securing a move abroad.
Reports indicate that the 18-year-old has already left Nigeria to finalize negotiations with an undisclosed foreign club.
Ogunleye played a crucial role in Rangers’ successful title campaign last season, contributing significantly to their dominance in the NPFL. His impressive performances earned him widespread recognition as one of the league’s rising stars.
In the current 2024/2025 NPFL season, Ogunleye has made 15 league appearances, scoring one goal and providing three assists, further showcasing his midfield prowess.
Ogunleye began his professional career with Ijebu United, a club in the Nigeria National League (NNL), before making the leap to Rangers. His rapid development and consistent displays quickly made him a fan favorite.
His talent also earned him a call-up to the Super Eagles B team, which features home-based players competing in continental and regional competitions.
While details of his destination remain undisclosed, Ogunleye’s move reflects the growing trend of NPFL talents attracting interest from foreign clubs. His departure marks a significant loss for Rangers, but it also highlights the league’s ability to develop players for international success.
Fans of Rangers and the NPFL will be eager to see how Ogunleye performs on the global stage as he takes the next step in his promising football career.
