Both born in 2007, the 18‑year‑olds were formally unveiled by Partizan earlier today, having trained at the club’s Humska facility while awaiting paperwork and adaptation.
The club’s official statement confirms the strategic focus on youth development, describing the duo as “talented Nigerian prospects” previously monitored closely by the scouting department for nearly a year.
Following a brief adaptation phase, both players are expected to join first‑team training immediately, with coaching staff set to assess whether they move into the senior squad or remain in the youth ranks/affiliate team Teleoptik.
Vitalis, described as a creative central midfielder, and Abdulmalik, a promising left full-back, now embark on their first professional adventure in European football with one of Serbia’s most prestigious clubs.
Partizan sees their arrival as a long-term investment in potential future stars and a sign of its growing presence in African youth talent pipelines.
