Turkish Super Lig powerhouse Galatasaray are interested in signing Nigeria international Azubuike Okechukwu, allnigeriasoccer.com can confirm.

The Istanbul side are believed to have opened talks with the intermediary handling the affairs of the central midfielder, ahead of the opening of the summer transfer window.

Since returning from the 2016 Olympic Games, Okechukwu has been involved in every single league game for Yeni Malatyaspor, except the clash with Göztepe on December 4, which he missed because of accumulated bookings.

The Nigeria U23 skipper will enter the final twelve months of his contract with Yeni Malatyaspor in July and the second-tier club may decide to cash in on the midfielder.

Club Brugge and Rapid Vienna are monitoring the progress of Azubuike Okechukwu in Turkey.
