Nigeria U23 skipper Azubuike Okechukwu is set to quit his Turkish PTT 1 club Yeni Malatyaspor with the midfielder attracting interests from several clubs within and outside Turkey.
Okechukwu, 19, joined Malatyaspor last August from Bayelsa United and has gone on to be an important member of the squad, and almost helped them to the promotion play-offs this past season.
But AfricanFootball.com has been reliably informed that he may have played his last game for the Turkish club as he is set to sign for a new club “before or after the Olympic Games”.
“Azubuike is attracting serious interests and some of these clubs have already begun negotiations with his present club, along with his agent,” a top source informed.
“He is more than likely to sign for one of these clubs before or after the Olympic Games, depending on how the discussions progress.”
The former Niger Tornadoes midfielder, who made his Eagles debut against Egypt in March, is presently in South Korea with the Nigeria U23 team as they prepare for the football event of the Olympic Games in Brazil.
