Exclusive : FC Basel Consider Bid For Juwon Oshaniwa

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that FC Basel are mulling over a January bid for Nigeria international Juwon Oshaniwa.

Israeli Premier League club MS Ashdod were desperate to offload the wingback over the summer, but the transfer window closed and he remained at the Yud-Alef Stadium.

The Dolphins number 18 was not guaranteed a starting shirt before the league began, only for the preferred choice of the manager, Amir Ben-Shimon, to get injured while on international duty with the Israeli youth team.
 
Juwon Oshaniwa had been proposed to Sporting Braga and Benfica before the World Cup, but the Portuguese clubs turned down the opportunity to offer him a contract after an average showing for the Super Eagles at the mundial.

Six times in a row Switzerland champions FC Basel are hoping their good relationship with the agent that introduced Oshaniwa to the club will persuade the Super Eagle to cancel his contract with Ashdod.

Juwon Oshaniwa is tied to MS Ashdod till the summer of 2016.
