Top scorer at the recent Viareggio Tournament in Italy Hafiz Ibrahim will now consider other options including a transfer to Chelsea after he did not sign for Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt.
The Ojodu City Academy striker, 18, was top scorer at the Viareggio Tournament last month with 10 goals.
He subsequently trained with Bodo/Glimt for a couple of days, but an agreement was not reached.
The freezing weather and loneliness in Northern Norway are believed to have turned off the highly-rated centre-forward.
The tall striker will now head back to Italy.
He has received other offers including one from Premier League giants Chelsea, who want him to undergo trials for two weeks.
He has also interested a clutch of Italian clubs.
