EPL Teams Tussle For Onazi

Onazi in action for Lazio

English Premiership teams, Aston Villa, Queens Park Rangers and West Ham are all in the race to sign Nigerian midfielder Ogenyi Onazi, his agent Jonathan Barnett.

But Barnett, was quick to also add that his client is happy with the Biancocelesti despite the link to the EPL.

"It is true, there are a few clubs interested, but it he is a player of Lazio and he is happy there but his future at the club is not so firm but he won't leave in January," he revealed.

Onazi who signed a contract extention at the club in the summer till 2018 has missed his sides's last fives Serie A games fuelling speculation about his future at the Rome based outfit.

The form of Lucas Biglia, Senad Lulic and Marco Parolo in Lazio's midfield has made it difficult for the Nigerian international to get back into the starting line up.
