Exclusive : Uche Agbo Chose Udinese Ahead Of Veria

New Udinese signing Henry Uche Agbo had attracted interest from Greece Super League side Veria plus an unnamed team in Belgium before committing his future to the Bianconeri for the next four years.<br /><br />Last summer, Greek agent Paschalis Tountouris of Prosport International&nbsp; had proposed the 18 - year - old midfielder to Veria as replacement for another of his client Michael Olaitan, who was departing for Olympiakos.<br /><br />Speaking to <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>, Henry Uche Agbo said : &ldquo;Before I signed for Udinese, I had two offers from Belgium and Greece.

I think I will develop best there and during my four - month stay in Italy last year, I was impressed with what I saw on ground .<br /><br />&ldquo;Christian Obodo was also helpful when I was in Udine. He kept inviting me to his house and offering me advice. I enjoyed Nigerian delicacies every time I visited his home.&rdquo;<br /><br />Henry Uche Agbo has been loaned by Udinese to Granada until the end of this season and will depart Lagos for Spain on Sunday.<br /><br />He will earn 10,000 euros every month at Udinese while ex Golden Eaglet Isaac Success will pocket 15,000 euros per month.<br />
