Dimitri Seluk, the agent of Nigeria international Dele Adeleye, has revealed to Russian media that the central defender is wanted by clubs in Russia.

Dele Adeleye, 23, ended his collaboration with Ukrainian club Tavriya last week, citing the Fifa ruling which prohibited the club from signing players in the next two windows.

''Adeleye is very talented and could soon become one of the best defenders in the world . Many European clubs are interested in him.

''Also closely followed in Russia, particularly by Dynamo Moscow and Kuban. At present it is difficult to assess the likelihood of moving to Russia,'' Seluk, who also manages Ivory Coast and Man City star Yaya Toure told lifesports.ru.

Adeleye's contract with Tavriya was due to expire at the end of the 2013 - 2014 season.
