Serie A outfit Cagliari has expressed interest in signing Nigerian forward David Okereke, following his stellar performances this season, Nigeriasoccernet.com can confirm.
Okereke, who featured for Cremonese in Serie A last season, moved on loan to Turkish Super Lig club Gaziantep FK after Cremonese faced relegation. Since joining Gaziantep FK, the Nigerian striker has emerged as one of the team's standout players.
Reports indicate that Cagliari made initial contact with Cremonese on Wednesday morning to discuss a potential transfer. While Cremonese has yet to establish a specific transfer fee, there is a strong possibility that Okereke could make a return to Serie A during the winter transfer window.
Okereke's attacking prowess and form this season have made him a coveted prospect for Cagliari, who are seeking to bolster their squad in the fight to maintain their Serie A status.
