From all indications, Uwa Echiejile will depart Sporting Braga in the summer transfer market, authoritative Portuguese sports daily A Bola is reporting.

Though Nigeria failed to qualify for the semi - finals of the Fifa Confederations Cup, the 25 - year - old left back impressed European clubs with his offensive qualities.

In Brazil, especially against minnows Tahiti, Echiejile was the architect of several attacks launched by Stephen Keshi's troops.

It is known that Germans VfB Stuttgart and English pair Norwich and Fulham are interested in the acquisition of Echiejile, who is under contract with Sporting Braga until the end of next season.

Transfer market experts value the full back at around 3.7 million euros.
