Fast rising Nigeria U15 international midfielder, Raheem Moyinoluwa Salaudeen, has been invited for a second football scholarship trial with Whitstable Town FC, marking another major step in his fast-rising football journey in the United Kingdom.
The talented youngster, developed by Buruj Sports Academy, is being considered for a two-year full-time football and education programme at the Kent-based club, a pathway designed to combine elite player development with academic progression.
Raheem first caught attention during a friendly match a few weeks ago when Whitstable Town FC found themselves 2–0 down. Introduced in the second half, the Nigerian midfielder made an immediate impact, helping to change the tempo of the game and inspiring a remarkable comeback victory. His composure, energy, and game intelligence stood out, earning him the opportunity to train with the team after the match.
Since then, the young star has continued his UK football showcase tour, participating in trials, training sessions, and competitive matches with several grassroots and development sides, including Lambeth Tigers FC, Club LDN, Ondagrass XI, Brooke House College, and Woodford Town FC.
Notably, during his time with Woodford Town FC, Raheem trained under the guidance of Colin Kazim-Richards, former professional footballer and ex-Arsenal FC player, now involved in youth development and coaching within the Arsenal pathway.
Raheem’s consistent performances, adaptability, and maturity beyond his years continue to attract attention as he pushes toward securing a long-term football and education opportunity in England.
With national team experience at Nigeria U15 level and growing exposure across the UK football scene, Raheem Moyinoluwa Salaudeen remains one of the young prospects to watch as his development journey continues.
