Heerenveen assessing former Nigeria U20 invitee player

Posted : 26 July 2023
SC Heerenveen, a Dutch Eredivisie club, has brought Joel Ideho, a 2023 Flying Eagles invitee, on trial with the possibility of a future transfer. 

The talented winger is currently without a club after being released by Arsenal last month. Despite attracting interest from Premier League newcomers Burnley and Italian Serie B club Feralpisalò, Ideho decided not to accept their offers.

Since Sunday, SC Heerenveen's coaches have been closely assessing the Dutch-born Nigerian youngster's abilities before making a decision on offering him a contract.

Ideho's football journey began in the youth teams of Willem II and Ajax before he signed a professional contract with Arsenal in October 2020. 

During his time with the English club, he featured for their U18 and U23 sides and had the opportunity to train with the first-team players, although he didn't make his professional debut before leaving Arsenal.

Unfortunately, an ankle injury sustained during training after a London derby against Crystal Palace's development squad in March sidelined Ideho, causing him to miss the latter part of the 2022-2023 Premier League 2 season. 

Consequently, he was unable to secure a spot in Nigeria's final squad for the 2023 FIFA U20 World Cup, even though he participated in the training camp in Abuja.

Now, at SC Heerenveen, Ideho has a chance to impress and potentially secure a contract that could reignite his professional career and showcase his talents in the Dutch Eredivisie.
