SCORENigeria can specially report that Italian Serie A club Empoli have tabled a new contract for young striker Emmanuel Ekong.
Ekong, son of former Super Eagles star Prince Ikpe Ekong, has impressed in training even though he has yet to make his Serie A debut.
SCORENigeria gathered that the 19-year-old striker’s current deal will run out next year and Empoli are not prepared to let him walk away a free agent.
In July, the younger Ekong netted twice for Empoli to be crowned champions of the Primavera.
It is expected that Empoli could reach an agreement for a new deal with Ekong’s agents this month.
Ekong has been capped by Sweden U18s and holds a Swedish passport.
He recently represented Sweden U20s.
