African Nations Championship, CHAN MVP, Ejike Uzoenyi is believed to be on his way to a top South African club with Orlando Pirates leading the chase.
Two other Nigeria players from the 2014 CHAN squad, Azubuike Egwuekwe and Solomon Kwambe, are also on the verge of securing deals with South Africa teams.
The trio did not return with the rest of the squad on Sunday night when they arrived in Lagos.
Warri Wolves skipper Egwuekwe’s likely destination is Bidvest Wits. The Clever Boys have been searching for a top-class centre back after they released Musa Bilankulu and due to the fact that Matthew Booth is not getting any younger, mtnfootball reports.
Giant Egwuekwe is the exact type of centre back that coach Gavin Hunt loves to work with – tall, good in the air, powerful and composed.
The likely destination of Sunshine Stars right back Solomon Kwanbe is not known yet. According to the former media officer of Warri Wolves Timi Ebikagboro, Egwuekwe has undergone a medical in South Africa already.
