Everton to move to beat Liverpool to Nigerian international?
Everton are ready to make a bid for Nigerian international Ongenyi “Eddy” Onazi to jump ahead of city rivals Liverpool according to reports in Italy.
Italian news outlet Il Tempo says that the Merseyside clubs are set to go to battle to sign the combative midfielder, after the 20 year old has shone at Italian club Lazio.
Everton have long been linked with Onazi and various reports suggested that the club were due to sign him last transfer window.
Onazi has made 14 appearances for Lazio this season but TuttoMercatoWeb says the player is unlikely to move in the January Transfer Window. Back in November Onazi claimed he could see himself playing for Liverpool, but that wouldn’t stop Everton boss Roberto Martinez in bidding for the player to help strengthen his sides midfield.
