Allnigeriasoccer.com<\/strong> can exclusively report that Greek Super League giants\u00a0Olympiakos are on the verge of confirming the capture of talented Nigerian defender Nelson Abbey.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Premier League side Luton Town had agreed a fee with Reading for Abbey but the promising defender has snubbed a move to the Hatters in favour of securing a dream move to Olympiakos who have won the Greek top-flight on 47 occasions.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n A product of the Reading academy, Abbey is set to depart the League One outfit after playing in 31 games across all competitions in which he logged 2, 345 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Despite his young age, he has been trusted with the captain’s armband several times in the 2023-2024 season and that’s a testament to his leadership attributes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Reading have sanctioned the sale of Abbey to Olympiakos due to their financial struggles.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Abbey is predominantly a central defender and has represented England at U17 and U20 levels, making his debut for the latter in an U20 Elite\u00a0League match against Romania back in October.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Nigeria’s\u00a0highest goalscorer in history Rashidi Yekini, Michael Olaitan, Brown Ideye, Emmanuel Emenike and Henry Onyekuru represented Olympiakos in the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
