Nigerian striker Aaron Olanare
Aaron Olanare is a Nigerian footballer performing in China. He is still very young - this year he turned 22 years old. Aaron Olanare plays the position of the central striker, but if necessary he can also play the role of both the right and left winger.
Carier start
Aaron Olanare was born on July 4, 1994 in Nigeria, where he spent all his childhood. He was in favor of the youth squad of the Nigerian club "Shooting Stars", and in 2010, at the age of 16, he already got a place at the heart of the club. He played 23 matches, scoring 15 goals, after which he moved to Dolphins, where, however, he could not start playing. But when he turned eighteen and he was able to leave his native country, the striker joined the Norwegian club "Volereng". Aaron Olanare was seen as a promising forward, and the Scandinavians expected that a strong player would grow out of him.
Moving to Europe and the Norwegian period
Aaron Olanare is a footballer who has not proved himself the best in the new championship. After stellar performances at home, in two seasons he was able to score only one goal. But on the field in the sum he appeared only 17 times. Things went a little better when he moved to "Sarpsborg" in 2013. He went on the field 26 times, scoring ten goals - and this result is more impressive leadership. But he also impressed the scouts of the Chinese club "Guangzhou Fuli", who paid for it a half million euros. So the Nigerian was in China.
Playing in China and renting in "CSKA"
In the "Guangzhou" Nigerian talent spent one and a half season - during this time he managed to play 35 games, in which he scored fifteen goals. But in February 2016 the club decided to give the player a lease for six months in the Russian "CSKA", as he did not demonstrate the progress that was expected of him. For a few months in Russia, Olanare went on the field seven times, scoring two goals. This result did not impress the Chinese bosses, and when the Nigerian returned from the lease, he was sent to the double, where he is performing now.
National team appearances
In October 2014, Aaron Olanare made his debut for Nigeria at the age of twenty. Already in the second match for the team, he went into the starting lineup and scored a goal. In sum, today the young Nigerian spent seven matches for the national team, scoring two goals. But the last time he went on the field in the national team's T-shirt in June 2015 - and the situation will not change until Olanare starts playing again. And while he is in the reserves of his club, he hardly expects another call from the national team.
