Everton are expected to produce €5.5m if they are to get Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi from Serie A club Lazio.
The Toffees are reportedly close to concluding talks on the 20-year-old.
According to Mercato, Everton have already contacted Lazio regarding the Nigerian midfield international who has played nine times for Nigeria.
Onazi is far from a regular for Lazio,
he has made just five appearances for the club in Serie A games, but he
has been a regular for them in their Europa League campaign.
With South African Daylon Claessen
already on trial at Goodison Park and transfer rumours linking Everton
with a summer move for Real Betis midfielder Juan Carlos in the summer,
the possibility of the Africa Cup of Nations hero going to England is
not being ruled out.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are hopeful of
fending off interest from Arsenal to secure a summer deal for Nigeria
international Godfrey Oboabona.
The 23-year-old is desperate to leave
current club Sunshine Stars at the end of the season, and his agent has
been actively offering him around European clubs.
Oboabona already has a number of
potential suitors, but was expected to undergo a trial with Arsenal last
month in a bid to try and win a contract with his boyhood club.
