Ejike Uzoenyi set for Marseille switch

Rangers flying winger Ejike Uzoenyi is currently in France in talks to join Olympique Marseille, officials said.

The diminutive Super Eagles star has since December been one of the regulars in the national team.

Uche Kalu has already quit Enyimba to move to Turkey and Keshi said both he and Uzoenyi deserve their break in Europe.

“They have been consistent with us for eight months and the idea is for them not to rush into slave contracts, as had been the case, if they are beginning to get attention from clubs abroad, we are happy for them, because they will enrich the national team and also better the lives of their families,” Keshi said.

“I wish them the best, but the two of them are expected early for the game against Liberia.”
