Eagles Star May Join Sydney Sam At Bundesliga Side
Super Eagles midfielder, Sunday Mba could be on his way to joining fellow Nigerian, Sydney Sam as German Bundesliga side, Bayer Leverkusen mount the starting block in the race to snap the Warri Wolves ace.
MTNFootball.com can exclusively reveal that Sunday Mba whose goal sunk Cote d’Ivoire in the Super Eagles 2-1 triumph over the Elephants in the on-going Africa Cup of Nations quarter final match is wanted by top German club Bayer Leverkusen.
A top agent who is part of the deal informed MTNFootball.com: “Bayer Leverkusen are interested in Sunday Mba. I will give you an update within a day or so.”
Incidentally, the agent had worked out a deal for the same player to join Elche of Spain in 2008.
“He passed the trials and was offered a deal but Rangers did not allow it happen because Elche could not meet the Enugu team’s valuation of the player,” disclosed the agent.
Former Nigeria U17 international Mba has trained with former club Enugu Rangers in the close season, but his current club Warri Wolves have demanded for a little fortune from Rangers.
The midfielder put up a wonderful performance for Nigeria with a commanding display in the middle of the pack and capped it with a great match winner against mighty Cote d’Ivoire in the quarterfinal of the AFCON.
The 24-year-old Mba started his second game at the AFCON and showed class by scoring a fantastic individual goal after he got past three of his markers before he fired home.
His display was again proof that there is a lot of untapped and unheralded talent in the Nigeria Premier League.
Coach Stephen Keshi sang the praise of the unlikely match winner.
"I thank Sunday for scoring the winner. It was a fantastic goal. May be I will go and give him a kiss to say thank you for scoring such a fantastic goal to win the match," an over-the-moon Keshi said after the game.
