Zapping But! Football Club Olympique Lyonnais: The question of the week
A few weeks ago, we relayed the information that OGC Nice had sights on Sparta Rotterdam goalkeeper Maduka Okoye. This Nigerian of German origin is only 22 years old but he already impresses in Eredivisie. However, his performances have not escaped the notice of other clubs, in particular Watford, who is preparing to pay € 5m to recruit him in January while leaving him on loan at Sparta for six months.
But do not panic for the Aiglons, who have a plan B. According to the journalist specializing in transfers Ignazio Genuardi, the profile of the Turkish Ersin Destanoglu would be very popular. He looks like Okoye’s to the extent that he is young (20 years old) but already impressive and what is more is a holder in a club (Besiktas) where the pressure is enormous. Transfermarkt puts his value at € 8.5m, which says a lot about his potential.
While Warford will pay € 5m (excluding bonus) to block him during the next Winter Mercato, the Nigerian #Okoye (Sparta Rotterdam) was closely followed by #Nice, which also stays hot on #destanoglu (Besiktas). #Market #OGCN
