Lobi Stars To Challenge Lyon For Nigerian Striker

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Nigeria Professional Football League side Lobi Stars have joined the race to sign Iorbee Godwin Zaki.

The 21-year-old is also on the shopping list of Olympique Lyonnais and the French Ligue 1 powerhouse have handed him a trial with a view to offering him a contract in the summer.

Lobi Stars are in advanced talks with Zaki, with the coaches set to check on the fitness of the striker early next week before reporting back to management whether they should deal or not.

He played domestically for Lobi Stars before transferring to Finnish club Oulun Palloseura.

Iorbee Godwin Zaki is back in his homeland after spending a portion of the 2015-2016 season at Maltese club Mqabba.
