footsteps by signing a long-term contract with Eintracht Frankfurt after undergoing a medical checkup scheduled for the next week.<\/p>\n<p>The transfer fee for Durosinmi per 90mins is reported to be nine million euros, and will make him the joint-fourth most expensive signing in Frankfurt\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>The Bundesliga club views the acquisition of the talented forward as a bargain, considering the player\u2019s potential and performance on the field. Durosinmi, who will turn 21 on New Year\u2019s Day, arrived in Europe in 2022 and has quickly made a name for himself with notable goal-scoring exploits.<\/p>\n<p>Having played for Karvina and Plzen, Durosinmi boasts an impressive track record with ten goals in 39 games for Karvina and 13 goals in 34 matches for Plzen.<\/p>\n<p>His impact in the Czech Fortuna Liga, where he recorded six goals and six assists in just 11 games before sustaining an injury, has generated excitement about his future prospects.<\/p>\n<p>If Durosinmi continues on his upward trajectory in Germany, he has the potential to surpass the 18 Bundesliga goals scored by Jay Jay Okocha for Eintracht Frankfurt in fewer than 90 games.<\/p>\n<p>This prospect has ignited anticipation among the club\u2019s fans, hoping to witness the emergence of another Nigerian hero in the form of Rafiu Durosinmi.<\/p>\n<p>The young forward\u2019s talent, charisma, and goal-scoring abilities make him a player to watch, and Eintracht Frankfurt is eager to see him contribute to the club\u2019s success in the coming seasons.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsration.com\/talented-nigerian-player-set-to-follow-jay-jay-okochas-career-path\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talented Nigerian player, Rafiu Durosinmi is reportedly set to follow the career path of legendary countryman, Jay Jay Okocha with a move to German club, Eintracht Frankfurt.
