Nigeria forward Chisom Chikatara is reportedly set for a lucrative move to Arab Saudi after canceling his contract with African champions Wydad Casablanca.
The former Abia Warriors hitman was pictured in the early hours on Tuesday at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, as he departed the country to Morocco after cutting short his holiday to finalise his departure from Wydad ahead of his move to Saudi Arabia.
Chikatara had endured a difficult time at the African champions since his switch from Nigeria Professional Football League club Abia Warriors in 2016.
The 23-year-old had been hampered by a combination of injuries and change of management at the Casablanca club which limited him to a handful of appearances, but he remains a fan favourite with Wydad fans who have voted him man of the man in most of his rare appearances.
According to a source close to Chikatara, Wydad Casablanca are are allegedly owing the Super Eagles striker five months salary and have been underpaying his salaries by as much $2,000 a month, which informed his decision to cancel the contract.
The Umuahia-born forward is also a subject of interests from a host of clubs from Egypt, Qatar and Europe. But barring any last-minute twist, he is on the verge of a money-spinning switch to Saudi Arabia giants, Arab Saudi.
Chikatara came into limelight after after scoring four goals for Nigeria’s home-based team at the 2016 African Nations Championship in Rwanda.
