qualified for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, to be hosted by Equatorial Guinea, but some players who featured in the ill-fated qualifiers are still in hot demand by the European clubs.
One of them is Warri Wolves’ central defender, Azubuike Egwuekwe.
According to a report published on November, 26 2014, Wednesday, by sl10.ng, an Italian club, Udinese Calcio, is interested in signing the lanky defender.
It was disclosed that the Serie A club has reportedly enquired about the services of Egwuekwe.
Championship side, Watford, is also reported to be interested in the 25-year-old big defender.
Meanwhile, the Wolves are willing to do business with only serious clubs.
It was gathered that Egwuekwe will cost between £100,000 and €200,000.
Though he was not a first choice for the Super Eagles since 2012, Egwuekwe has made nine starts for the national side since the beginning of 2013.
Before joining Warri Wolves, the defender, who stands at 6 ft 5 (1.96m), came through the Yerima Strikers football system and also played for Nasarawa United in the past.
According to many football analysts, Egwuekwe would thrive in European football due to his physique and huge presence in the heart of the defence.
