Bury Hoping To Beat Leicester City, Nottingham Forest To Signature Of Nigerian Prospect

Football League One club Bury have joined the battle for highly-rated Nigerian teenager  Edward Ogbebor-Onaiwu, allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed.

The Shakers are showing interest in the Charlton Athletic glovesman and will begin observing him at close quarters in the coming weeks.

 The Addicks youth-teamer would have started training with Bury this weekend but is expected to travel to Nigeria any moment from now to train with the country’s U17 national team.

Edward Ogbebor-Onaiwu has also been linked with possible moves to Premier League champs Leicester City plus Nottingham Forest and trained with both clubs during this pre-season.

The shot-stopper began his career at Crystal Palace before he joined Charlton Athletic in December 2014.
