  • Nigerian striker Ibrahim Hafiz Umar joins Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims after Chelsea decides not to sign him following a trial.
  • Umar, who impressed at the Viareggio Cup, aims to continue his development at Reims' esteemed academy, known for producing top talent.

Nigerian striker Ibrahim Hafiz Umar has secured a transfer to French Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims, bringing an end to his pursuit of a move to Chelsea. The Blues had invited Umar for a trial in March, but ultimately decided against offering him a contract, deeming him not suitable for their recruitment strategy.

Undeterred, the talented teenager has now realized his ambition of joining a top-tier European club, signing with Reims, renowned for their esteemed academy. Umar's impressive performance at the Viareggio Cup, where he clinched the Golden Boot, had caught the attention of several European clubs, and he will be eager to continue his growth at Reims.

The French outfit's academy has a rich history of producing exceptional talent, including Hugo Ekitiké, who recently joined Eintracht Frankfurt from Paris Saint-Germain. Umar will be hoping to emulate such success, learning the intricacies of European football during his stint with Reims.

This move marks a significant milestone in Umar's career, providing him with the platform to showcase his skills and potentially attract interest from other top European clubs in the future.
