Hot Property! Arsenal, Monaco, Leicester After Eagles Star Etebo
Nigerian
midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo is being targeted for a possible January transfer
by Premier League giants, Arsenal and reigning champions Leicester City.
Alongside the
Premier League duo, French club Monaco and Italian outfit Atalanta are also
said to be monitoring Etebo’s progress in the Portuguese Super Liga, CompleteSports reports.
British media
reports that the Premier League duo sent scouts to watch Etebo in action for CD
Feirense in their 1-1 draw against FC Porto on Thursday.
Etebo, 21, burst
onto the global stage after scoring four goals for Nigeria’s U-23 side against
Japan in their opening fixture at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
The former Warri
Wolves attacking midfielder has been one of Nigeria’s most promising
talents in recent years.
He was named
Africa’s most promising talent at the Glo/CAF awards last year after emerging
top scorer at the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations in Senegal.
He linked up
with Feirense from Nigeria Professional Football League club Warri Wolves early
this year, and has caught the eye with his box-to-box displays and eye for
goal.
