Finnish club FC Inter Turku earlier claimed that they have reached an agreement - in - principle with a Nigeria international defender, but refused to reveal his identity. There are new developments in the proposed transfer that would have seen the Super Eagle sign a two - year contract.

According to leaks gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com's Editorial Staff, Beijing Olympic silver medalist Chibuzor Okonkwo has missed out on a switch to Scandinavia.

''Chibuzor Okonkwo and FC Inter Turku had agreed terms, and he was supposed to sign a two - year contract. But he delayed in coming to Finland and the club had to cancel the preliminary contract,'' a top source told allnigeriasoccer.com.

Okonkwo previously tested with clubs in Norway(Vålerenga), Ukraine (FC Kryvbas), England (Reading) and Russia (Rostov) without success.
