Nigeria champions, Kano Pillars, are hoping to snap up Enyimba captain and centre-back, Chinedu Udoji in this off-season, supersport.com can report.
But the Kano club are not the only Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side interested in the defender as Sunshine Stars have also thrown their hat in the ring.
"We are interested in signing a defender as we prepare for next season. You know we will be playing in the Caf Champions League and also defend our league title and play in the FA Cup (now known as the Federation Cup). So we are short in the area of defending and especially in the centre-back area. So we are looking at bringing in one player and may be two.
"Right now we are considering Enyimba captain and one other player from Sunshine Stars whose name I can't remember now. Talks are ongoing with their representatives but nothing has been agreed upon yet. We hope we can conclude this soon so that they can join us as we prepare," said one of the Kano Pillars coaches, who prefers not to be mentioned.
Kano Pillars might face a huge stumbling block in luring away Udoji from Aba as he earns a princely wage at two-time African champions, Enyimba.
Also, the Aba club might refuse to sell one of their key players to their immediate rivals.
Udoji emerged as one of the top three nominees in this year's League Bloggers Awards (LBA) for Player of the Season in the NPFL, which was won by Rabiu Ali of Kano Pillars.
