Nigeria International Azubuike Egwuekwe looks certain to leave Warri Wolves at the end of the
season, but his destination is not yet finalised.
The defender was ready to depart
Nigeria in January with West Ham reportedly
interested in signing him, but a deal never materialised.
After the Hammers’ interest cooled,
Israeli side Hapoel Tel-Aviv stepped in and went as far as announcing his
signing on Twitter, before that deal also fell through.
“Several things went wrong [with the
deal to join Hapoel]. There were some minor details but by the grace of God,
those issues have now been sorted out. I will very likely move [away from
current club, Warri Wolves] in the summer,” said Egwuekwe.
“I still don’t know if I will go to
Hapoel in the summer. I really don’t know. Everything is in God’s hands but
what I know is that I will likely leave in the summer,” he said.
While he seems uncertain of his
final destination, Egwuekwe admitted if it was up to him, he would end up at
West Ham United.
“Like I said earlier, the future can
only be decided by God but if I had to make a choice, I would love to go to
West Ham,” he said.
The defender impressed European
scouts while representing Nigeria at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and has scored
two goals in 34 appearances for the Super Eagles.
