According to trending reports at home and abroad, Lazio youngster Eddy Onazi is attracting interest from English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur in the winter transfer market.

To fend off the interest of clubs that are interested in the acquisition of the teenager, Lazio have proposed a fresh 2 - year contract to the Nigeria international, writes lalaziosiamonoi.it.

Onazi is expected to pocket 300, 000 euros as annual wage in the new deal, which will keep him at the capital club until the summer of 2016. He currently earns 20,000 euros per season as a youth team player.

The former Nigeria youth - teamer, who is expected to be named in Stephen Keshi's preliminary African Cup of Nations roster,  was recommended to The Biancocelesti by one time Inter Milan defender Taribo West.
