The dream of Super Eagles midfielder, Ogenyi Eddy Onazi to
join English Premiership side during the January transfer
window has been cut short by Claudio Lotito, President of
Lazio, who has issued a hands-off warning to Liverpool over
its reported interest in the midfield enforcer.
Onazi, who shone like a million stars for Nigeria at the FIFA
World Cup in Brazil last year has had the attention of Liverpool
for awhile now and it was assumed that the club revived its
interest in the winter transfer market after failing to sign him
last summer.
It had been claimed that Liverpool hoped to clinch the
youngster’s signature by offering striker Fabio Borini in part –
exchange.
But The Biancocelesti supremo expected Eddy Onazi to remain
at the club after the close of the January transfer window.
‘’Onazi is not for sale and I have received offers,’’ Claudio
Lotito told mediasetpremium.it.
‘’Reinforcement in attack? We’ll see, we have different loan
players: I will talk with the coach and we will see what the
market offers.’’
Having extended his Lazio contract last September, Eddy
Onazi is now tied to the club until 2018. The 22-year-old had
appeared in 10 Serie A matches so far this season.
