According to Italian portal Tuttomercatoweb.com citing Turin's number one sports daily Tuttosport, Palermo will compete with Torino and two other clubs in the Serie A for the signature of 20 - year -old Nigerian striker Jerry Mbakogu, who is widely regarded as one of the rising stars of Italian Football.

It would be Mbakogu's second stint with Palermo if the transfer of the Juve Stabia youngster materializes in the winter transfer market.

If Juve Stabia are willing to do business with clubs in January, Fiorentina and Chievo Verona are sure to revive their interest for Mbakogu, who has scored three goals in his last three matches in the Serie B.
