Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Newcastle United are tracking Lazio midfielder, Eddy Onazi, 21.

And the Magpies have been watching him for the past six months after missing out on his signature in the January transfer window.

Indeed, the St James Park outfit would have acquired him this past winter but the time was too short for a deal to be pushed through.

Eddy Onazi, who is under contract with the Biancocelesti till 2016, is valued in the region of 10 - 12 million euros by transfer market experts.
