French Ligue 1 side OGC
Nice, Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa as well as Israeli clubs Maccabi Haifa
and Hapoel Tel Aviv are among the clubs now in pursuit of Super Eagles
goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa.
It was gathered that
there are also interests from Egypt and Tunisia.
Ezenwa’s contract with
FC Ifeanyiubah has expired and he has revealed that he is a free player and
will be open to offers.
His agent and chief
executive of Johannesburg-based Gzedsports Management Company, Godwin Emmanuel,
said: “Yes, it is true that some clubs are showing interests in signing Ezenwa.
“We are not surprised
anyway given the favour of God on him which has granted him the grace of great
performances in recent times both for club and country but particularly in the
World Cup qualifiers.
“I cannot disclose the
names of the clubs because there are other people working behind the scene for
the success of Ezenwa.
“I can only tell you
that we are waiting for divine direction on the next move for Ezenwa.”
However, Ezenwa said, “I
am not thinking of where my next port of call will be.
I have left it in God’s
holy hands. My concern is to play football regularly and be happy.
“I want to remain
focused and I pray for fitness at all times.”
The former Flying Eagles goalkeeper has risen to be
the country’s No 1 in the last two months, helping Nigeria to qualify for both
the 2018 World Cup in Russia as well as the CHAN in Morocco, also next year.
