What do 17 goals in an Austrian season get you? An impending deal with nouveau riche Manchester City, that's what, and Nigeria striker Kayode Olanrewaju is the man reaping the fruits of his potency.
The forward is reportedly close to a transfer to City in a move seemingly out of left field, and is expected to spend the next season on loan to Spanish side Girona.
Here are five things about the new City arrival-then-departure.
1. Olanrewaju was a member of the Nigeria Under-17 class of 2009, which finished as runners-up to Switzerland at the World Cup in Nigeria. Although he played in every single game, he never lasted a full match and failed to score a single goal. Some of his contemporaries in that side were Ogenyi Onazi, Kenneth Omeruo and Ramon Azeez. International stars who played include Alvaro Morata, Shkodran Mustafi, Mario Gotze, Granit Xhaka, Isco and one Neymar ... who managed to score a grand total of one goal.
2. 'Larry' also played at two further FIFA cadet tournaments - the Under-20 World Cups in 2011 and 2013, scoring a combined total of five goals. Three of those came in Colombia in 2011, where he scored in consecutive group phase games.
3. Kayode started his career with Ibadan-based Marvelous FC, from where he moved to Ghana to join Red Bull FC. It was from Ghana that he was recommended to Nigeria Under-17 coach John Obuh, went for tryouts, and was picked for the World Cup squad. Prior to all of that, he was trained by one of the country's top youth coaches and spotters of talent, simply called Zico. Olanrewaju says he is grateful for the tutelage, telling KweséESPN: "I am happy with him and everyone else for what they contributed to my career."
4. It has been a grueling road for Olanrewaju, who had to overcome numerous roadblocks as he clawed his way up. Loaned out to ASEC Mimosas by Red Bull, he had trouble settling at the club and was eventually forced to go back home, where he was registered with Heartland before he could make his move to Israeli second division club Maccabi Nentaya. During his time in Israel he was managed by Emeka Ezeala, who used to work with former Germany coach Berti Vogts when the latter coached Nigeria. Olanrewaju's 13 goals and six assists helped haul Netanya to promotion.
5. Olanrewaju is a quick striker who can play centrally, but he is equally well-equipped to operate as a wide forward. Former teammate and Birmingham-bound midfielder Ogenyi Onazi says the striker has always been ready to take in as much knowledge as possible. "He is a person who always wants to learn and join in everything," Onazi told KweséESPN.
Onazi says even in their cadet days, the potential was there: "He was fast then, but the issue was his finishing. Now he has played under good coaches and learned how to finish, he will be deadly." A bold statement to make, but sources close to the player's camp told KweséESPN that Pep Guardiola watched films of the youngster for two months before making a decision on him. If true, that tells its own story, and a good one too.
