The dream of Nigerian striker, Obinna Victor Nsofor, playing
in the Premiership may come to reality, as Tottenham Hotspurs
have officially tabled a mouth-watering €7 million (about
N1.6 billion) to his Italian Serie A side, Inter Milan.
As Inter continue to look for ways to downsize their squad,
the out-of-favour Super Eagles hitman is likely to be on his
way to England after spending majority of last season on the
bench.
Quoting FcInterNews, the report noted that the Premiership
side have made a €7 million bid for him, adding that
manager Harry Redknapp has seen in him a promising player
at the age of 22.
The London outfit will, however, have to fight off competition
from Italian Serie A sides like Napoli, Parma, and Premiership
rivals Everton for his signature. It could be recalled theat
the player was close to joining the Toffees this past winter,
but missed the deal due to the inability to secure a work
permit before the end of the transfer window.
Nsofor has played for the Super Eagles since 2005 and has
become known for his incredible pace. He only made nine appearances
for the Nerazzurri this past season, finding the back of the
net once in the process.
