Turkish giants chase Onazi


TURKEY now appears to be the next destination for Super Eagles vice-captain, Ogenyi Onazi.
According to tuttomercatoweb, the out-of-favour SS Lazio
midfielder has been linked to a January move to one of the Turkish giants of Besiktas, Fenerbahce or Galatasary. 
Meanwhile, NaijaSportsXtra also gathered that his agent
Ayodele Makinwa is expected to hold talks with the Biancocelesti over his clinet's future.
“Eddy is fine now, he had a minor injury. He suffered a muscle strain in the national team, was out ten days. He returned immediately after the match against Saint Etienne, ” Makinwa told LaLazioSiamoNoi.it.
“We need to talk with the club, we want clarification. There are clubs who want him, we’re talking about a guy who has already racked up 39 appearances for Nigeria, who in 2014 played as a starter at the World Cup in in Brazil.”
The former Lazio striker added : “ He is wanted both in Italy and abroad. For him it would not be a problem finding another team. If the situation were to continue to be this, then we must find a solution.
“The possibility of a sale could also materialize. When a player does not feel important or does not feel the trust, it is easier than not unable to play and give what you would like.”
Onazi, who is under contract with Lazio until the summer of 2018, attracted interest from the English Premier League after the 2014 World Cup but a transfer never materialized.
