Succour may come the way of Super Eagles and Stoke's combative
midfielder, Seyi George Olofinjana, following the latest transfer
rumour linking him with a possible move to the French Ligue
One outfit, Monaco.
The report disclosed that Monaco would be willing to table
an offer within the range of £3 million (about N717
million) to secure the signature of the former Wolves playmaker
after watching him put an impressive performance in the Super
Eagles victory over France in a friendly tie recently.
Although the giant Nigerian ball winner arrived at The Britannia
Stadium from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a transfer fee in
the region of £3milllion, the report noted that he would
be willing to dump the Premiership side after enduring a tough
season with The Potters.
French radio RMC reported that there has been contact between
the two clubs about a possible deal being done, just as it
noted that manager Pulis is unlikely to stand in the way of
the man who has been dreaming of turning his back against
the Premiership side.
Meanwhile, Olofinjana would head out to Austria with his teammates
for a pre-season training in July.
Olofinjana will have to rush back to base at The Britannia
Stadium in the middle of next month, after his coach, Tony
Pulis said he is happy to take his squad out to Austria for
preseason, with two matches already lined up for them during
the tour.
Olofinjana and other players in The Potters will travel to
the state of Styria on July 15 and settle down to make the
best of their training and matches during a week-long stay,
going by details announced by Pulis.
"It's a lovely country, because it's so quiet, I like
Austria and we're all really looking forward to it.
