Nigerian midfielder Rabiu Ibrahim has arrived in Belgium ahead of a switch to KAA Gent this week.

The 25-year-old is expected to undergo a medical before joining up with The Buffalos on a long-term deal.

Details of the contract, at this time, remain sketchy until the attacking midfielder finalises the move.

Ibrahim, a member of Nigeria’s senior men’s national team, has spent the last two seasons with Slovakian side AS Trencin where he has played a role in winning two league and Cup titles.

The midfielder enjoyed early success in his career when he joined up with Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon at the age of 17 after winning the Fifa Under-17 World Cup in South Korea with Nigeria.

Unfortunately Ibrahim could not thrive at Sporting Lisbon considering he was still young and he would later move to PSV Eindhoven, Celtic and Kilmarnock, all brokered by his English representative, Tony Harris.

Ibrahim, who was named among the world’s top 50 most exciting talents in the sport a few years back, has made more than 40 appearances during his time at Slovakian champions AS Trencin.
