Etebo close to Spanish League move

Nigerian footballer Oghenekaro Etebo

Super Eagles star, Oghenekaro Etebo, has reportedly agreed on a loan move to Spanish La Liga strugglers, Las Palmas.

Palmas is currently 19th on the log with 14 points after 21 matches.

Etebo was supposedly being tracked by several other top sides.

These include FC Porto, Fenerbahce, Genk and Leicester City.

But reports in the Portuguese media claims relegation-threatened Las Palmas had struck a deal with Feirense.

The versatile player, who became one of the hottest properties in Europe after helping Nigeria win bronze at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games,  dropped in the pecking order at the Super Eagles since  Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi burst onto the scene.

He has also been struggling to impress at his club.

Etebo has played 36 times for Feirense since joining in 2016, scoring six times.

For the Super Eagles, he has featured 10 times, hitting the net just once.
