Bursaspor Chase Obiora Nwankwo

Published: January 13, 2013

According to authoritative Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport, Padova ace Obiora Nwankwo is attracting concrete interest from Turkish Super League club Bursaspor.

The hypothesis is that the 21 - year - old central midfielder would join Bursaspor on loan for the remainder of the season. And if he impresses the manager of The Green Crocodiles, Ertuğrul Sağlam on the expiration of the loan agreement, he could be purchased outright from Inter Milan.

Under contract with Inter Milan until the summer of 2014, Nwankwo, who will play for the Super Eagles at this month's African Cup of Nations, is valued at around 800,000 euros by transfer market experts.

The Super Eagle has suited up 14 times for Padova in Italy's second tier.
