The winter football transfer window has shut in the major European leagues and in North Africa too with Nigerian players making the moves albeit on the low key.

Former Portsmouth striker Yakubu Aiyebeni made a return to England where he is the second top African goal scorer with 95 goals, 6 short of Chelsea legend Didier Drogba who is on 101 goals.

Promise Isaac will also look to resurrect his career in a familiar terrain as the former Olympic team captain has penned a deal with Balikesirspor in the Turkish Super Lig.
  
A couple of players from the Glo Premier League also joined the exodus with North Africa being the main attraction.

 Last season’s top scorer Emem Edouk finally signed the dotted lines for Tunisian giants Esperance Tunis after some controversy surrounding his deal with Swedish side Sarpsborg while Peter Ebimobowei joined Al Ahly and former ABS of Ilorin midfielder Stone Evbuomwan signed the dotted lines for Arab Contractors.

Elohor Godswill Ekpolo sits in the Barcelona dressing room, his Nike Tiempo boots comes off his foot as coach Jordi Vinyals pats him on the head for a great game and for good measure too. The talented right-back had earlier scored for FC Barcelona's Juvenile A squad (equivalent of the Barcelona C team) as they whipped Celtic 3-0 to round up the group stage matches of the 2013/14 Uefa Youth Champions League. The goal was his third in six group stage matches, as Barcelona's Under-19 team ran riot collecting 16 points from a possible 18in a group that also had the youth sides of AC Milan, Ajax and Celtic. Ekpolo is highly rated in the Blaugranas circles and is tipped to become a first team star very soon to follow the footstep of his more illustrious and established La Masia graduates like Carles Poyul, Sergio Busquets, and more recently Cameroonian youngster Jean Marie Dongou.

Abdullahi, 21, penned the deal with the Kuwaiti side after he rebuffed overtures from South Africa, Turkey and Saudi Arabia and a deal with Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon fell through at the last minute. The former Kano Pillars midfielder says he is comfortable with the deal as it affords him a new challenge and an avenue to put himself in the window. "I'm really happy with the deal. It's a new challenge that I am looking forward to," he told 9jafooty from his base in Kuwait. "A lot of people were surprised I chose Kuwait, but I am happy. Kuwait will be a springboard to better things. This is just a stepping stone. "I hope to give my all to the fans of the club and also help the team win laurels during my stay here." Abdullah
