Breaking-Exclusive: Super Eagles World Cup Star Jets To Norway To Complete FK Haugesund Move
Nigeria international Michael Uchebo has snubbed mega offers from Asian and Middle East clubs for a return to Europe.

Uchebo is understood to have received huge concrete offers from Saudi Arabia, UAE and Indonesia.

Madura United signed Super Eagles star Peter Odemwingie after trying unsuccessfully for months to land Uchebo.

Uchebo left Boavista unceremoniously following the intervention of Fifa and Fipro after the Portuguese club failed to honour his 20,000 euros net a month salary and did not pay him for several months.

The striker has played nearly 200 matches in Holland, Belgium and Portugal and has 7 international caps for Nigeria.

It is understood that Uchebo prefers to continue his career in Europe instead of Middle East and Asia because he believes he still has a lot to offer in the Europe.

He featured in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, playing against France and Argentina.

The giant attacker is renowned for his aerial presence, great dribbling ability and hold up play.

He is not your typical goal scoring type of striker but his physical presence, unique style of play and creativity makes him a very dangerous player.

It is understood that FK Haugesund have been trying for quite some time to secure the striker's services and a deal seemed impossible.

It appears, however, that the Haugesund brass might have finally succeeded to land the player as the player is learnt to have bid farewell to his family and boarded a flight to Norway.
