Published: July 10, 2021

Allnigeriasoccer.com, regarded as Nigeria's number one authority on the transfer market, brings you the latest movements, deals as good as done and transfer news involving Nigerian players on Friday, July 9.

Joining Oghenekaro Etebo in completing a move to Watford is London-born striker of Nigerian descent Dapo Mebude, who has inked a 2+2 year contract.

Once regarded as one of the most talented teenagers in Scotland, Mebude was surprisingly released by Premiership champions Glasgow Rangers at the end of last month.

Still on Watford, Hornets sporting director Cristiano Giaretta has exclusively informed allnigeriasoccer.com that they are not interested in adding Paul Onuachu to their ranks this summer.

Arsenal are also not interested in signing the Super Eagles star who mustered 35 goals in all competitions last term.

The Racing Genk goal machine has been offered to at least two other Premier League clubs apart from West Ham United and Brighton & Hove.

Anglo-Nigerian goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo has ended speculation over his future by signing a new three-year contract and promoted to the first team of Arsenal.

Allnigeriasoccer.com exclusively reported more than a year ago that he was offered a three-year deal that would keep him at the Emirates Stadium until the end of the 2023-2024 season.

Transfer market guru Fabrizio Romano has reported with certainty that promising IFK Goteborg midfielder Alhassan Yusuf is joining Belgian First Division A side Royal Antwerp for a fee of 1.5 million euros (approximately N0.88 billion).

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that an unnamed Kazakhstan Premier League club are considering a move for Nigeria international Uche Nwofor.

The former Heerenveen, Lierse SK and AS Trencin striker is currently a free agent.
