Chigozie Obasi Invited To Attend Further Trials With SC Bastia

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that French club SC Bastia have not given up on signing Nigeria youth international Chigozie Obasi, despite interest from other Ligue 1 and Spanish clubs.

Towards the end of last year, the Corsican outfit’s youth team coaches had ran the rule over the ex Golden Eaglets midfielder but a decision on whether he would be offered a contract was not taken as he is a minor.

Now above the age of 17, SC Bastia have invited him for further tests and he would sign a preliminary deal that will be activated when he clocks 18 next summer, if he impresses during training.

The likes of Monaco and Deportivo de La Coruña have been linked with a move for the teenager after displaying his wares at the 2013 Fifa Under 17 World Cup.

Chigozie Obasi and his minders are hoping to get positive feedback from the French embassy this week before he embarks on the journey to Europe.
