Allnigeriasoccer.com’s editorial staff has been specially informed that Warri Wolves skipper Azubuike Egwuekwe is set to sign a contract with Hapoel Tel Aviv on Sunday.

The 25 - year - old has been in Israel since Friday morning to put finishing touches on the imminent shift.

Respected Israeli agent, Dudu Dahan, who manages Egwuekwe, told allnigeriasoccer.com : “Azubuike Egwuekwe came to sign a direct contract, he is not undergoing any test. ”

“He is signing with Hapoel Tel Aviv on Sunday. ”

One of coach Stephen Keshi’s favourite pupils, the central defender made the squad list for the 2013 African Cup of Nations and Confederations Cup plus last summer’s World Cup.

It is understood that Penafiel attempted to sign Egwuekwe this month but Warri Wolves refused to do business with the Portuguese setup.
