FCBESCOLA LAGOS is one of over 40 Barca academies all over the world which serve as breeding grounds for the LaLiga giants.

The agreement between the duo is for two seasons with a possible renewal based on performance.
Haruna, who is also a journalist, in an interview at FCBESCOLA training ground in Lagos, said he is happy to work with one of the best brands in football.
