Bentleigh Greens and Springvale White Eagles are closely monitoring Eastern Lions Nigerian striker Ajao Philip Taye, 24.

Both clubs have been alerted to the potential of the former Golden Eaglets invitee, having netted 19 goals in 22 matches for the National Premier League newcomers.

While his heart is with Eastern Lions, the Jos - born forward, who is also in the possession of an Australian passport, has declared that he would only leave his present employer if an A - League side come knocking on the door.

“A few clubs in the NPL already have established contact- Bentleigh Greens and Springvale White Eagles.

“None of the offers will be considered as Eastern Lions is dear to my heart and will be competing in the NPL.

“But if I get a chance with an A League Club, I will weight my options,” says Philip Ajao to SL10.ng.

A product of Ismaily Mabo Academy Jos, the offensive all - rounder previously turned out for Oakleigh Cannons, Altona Magic and Springvale White Eagles.
