Published: August 29, 2016

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Belgian top-flight team Club Brugge and Rapid Vienna are in talks with Yeni Malatyaspor over the signing of Nigeria U23 star Azubuike Okechukwu in the summer transfer window.

Both clubs are hoping to reach an agreement with the Turkish club before the close of the summer transfer window.

In the meantime, Azubuike Okechukwu is aware his hands are tied and will only hope that Yeni Malatyaspor accept one of the proposals from the two teams.

The former Bayelsa United midfielder put himself in the shop window at the recently concluded Olympic Games in Brazil, helping the Dream Team win the bronze medal but was suspended for the semi-final against Germany.

The 19-year-old Okechukwu has contractual obligations with Yeni Malatyaspor until the end of the 2017-2018 season.
