One transfer that will go down as the shock of the summer is the announcement by Italian side Reggiana that they have concluded a deal to sign 18 year old Nigerian midfielder Nuhu Shuaibu.
The Nigerian arrived the team in January joining the youth team and guided them to winning the Primavera 2 league. His contribution to the title win was rewarded with a spot in the first team for pre season training.
He picked up from where he left off with the youth team and after impressing in test games, the club announced that he will be part of their team on a one year deal following the completion of his registration.
Unlike last season, this season will see him play more games for the main as they push for a return to the Italian Serie A. He is expected to provide depth in the middle of the park for the team.
Shuaibu came to Italy from Nigeria last year and joined Osimo Stazione from where he was scouted and recruited by Reggiana in January.
