Exclusive: Metallurg Donetsk Chase Nigeria Stopper Godfrey Oboabona

Sunshine Stars stopper and Nigeria international Godfrey Oboabona could be on his way to the Ukrainian championship before the close of the transfer window on March 1, allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report.

The 23 - year - old central defender is attracting concrete interest from at least two clubs in the Ukrainian Premier League.

Oboabona's imperious displays for the Super Eagles at the just concluded African Cup of Nations has not gone unnoticed in the Eastern European country.

In fact, all the top flight clubs in the championship were advised to make a bid for Oboabona by scouts that closely monitored him at the tournament.

The most interesting proposal  for the signature of Godfrey Oboabona has come from FC Metallurg Donetsk, who once paid the wages of another Nigeria international center back Dele Adeleye.

But the 2010 Ukrainian Cup winners face competition from another club whose identity is being kept under wraps until negotiations are concluded.

Because of Oboabona's resale value, allnigeriasoccer.com's Editorial staff values him at a transfer fee of 600,000 euros.
