Liverpool re-ignite interest in Onazi

  Super Eagles star, Ogenyi Onazi might be the next Nigerian heading to the English premier league if reports emanating from Anfield is anything to come by.

Troubled Liverpool are in search of a midfield re-enforcement after Red star Lucas seem to be on his way out to Napoli in the january transfer.

Onazi, unlike other african players will be available in january due to Nigeria's inability to qualify for the 2015 African cup of Nations in Equitorial Guinea and this boosts his chances of joining the merseyside club.

When Supersport asked Onazi about a possible move to Anfield, he said: “Ofcourse (I will say yes) if Liverpool comes for me. They are a great club and I have always wanted to play in England.

“The (2014/15) is still on now and the transfer window is yet to be opened.

“There will be a lot of offers from everywhere but it depends. It’s a very complicated issue,” he added.

Onazi was a super regular for Lazio last season making a total of 29 appearances in the Serie A but has only started four games this season and the Italian side is said to be willing to sell the player for £8m.
