Latest transfer deadline day speculation is that Chidozie Awaziem could join fellow Super Eagles star Terem Moffi at French Ligue 1 side FC Lorient.
The talk is that Lorient will initially take Awaziem, 24, on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
Should this transfer go through before Tuesday’s deadline, it will be the second time defender Awaziem will play in France after he previously played on loan at FC Nantes three years ago.
In this summer transfer window, Awaziem has also been linked with Turkish champions Besiktas.
He came through the ranks at FC Porto, who shipped him out on loan severally before they finally sold him to another Portuguese club Boavista after a successful loan spell this year.
He has already been capped 22 times by Nigeria and has scored a goal.
