Leicester City after Nigerian striker

Nigeria youngish international, Oghenekaro Etebo, who plays for Turkish giant side, Fenerbahce is on the radar of English champions Leicester.

A source close to the Istanbul giants told Turkish-Football that Fenerbahce representatives will fly out to meet with Oghenekaro Etebo later this month. Per-the-source, Fenerbahce plan to establish contact with Etebo during the international break in March. Fenerbahce will also send scouts to watch Etebo for Nigeria’s games against Senegal and Burkina Faso.

Fenerbahce are planning wholesale changes to their squad next season following a turbulent past 12 months. The Yellow Canaries find themselves in third place in the Turkish League and a full nine points behind leaders Besiktas.

To make matters worse, Besiktas also have a game in hand and can go 12 points clear this weekend. Meanwhile, The Sun has reported that both Arsenal and Leicester City are interested in the 21-year-old midfielder.
