Tanimu's impressive performance for the Super Eagles has caught the attention of scouts and coaches from top European clubs, who are keen to sign him. The defender's ability to play in various positions and his experience in the African league have made him an attractive prospect.
Despite the interest from European clubs, Tanimu remains focused on his career with the Super Eagles. "Playing for Nigeria is a significant milestone in my career, and I'm committed to helping the team qualify for the World Cup," he said.
Tanimu's agent has confirmed that several clubs have made inquiries about his client's availability, but no deal has been finalized yet. "We're considering several offers, but we want to ensure that the next move is the right one for Benjamin's career," he said.
As Tanimu weighs his options, Nigerian football fans will be eagerly watching his next move, hoping that he will continue to excel for both club and country.
