Nosa Could Remain In Nigeria For A Month

The soap opera starring Nosa Igiebor, if there are no last minute twists, is about to enter its final stretch, informs estadiodeportivo.com

After more than two weeks delay, visits to embassies and consulates, the translated documents will be presented to the Spanish embassy latest Thursday morning. Once the documents are certified by the embassy, it has a month to issue a work permit to Nosa.

The agent of the Nigeria international is doing everything possible for his client to return to Seville, something that should have happened three days after the Super Eagles were crowned champions of Africa. But the player himself made an error in the validation of some expired documents.

Kenneth Asquet, who represents Nosa in Spain, has hired a prestigious British law firm to fight his cause.The presence of the Nigerian Federation lawyer was not enough, so he opted for this route.

An emissary of Blackfriars traveled to Lagos yesterday to hand over today the documents to the Spanish embassy.

Whatever the outcome of the visa application, Nosa is likely to be sanctioned economically when he returns to Real Betis. The club will wait for him to return before announcing the percentage of fine.

It must be noted that Real Betis are pointing directly at Nosa and his agent for neglect of duties.

''I think what has happened is that the player and his agent have been carried away. Before going to the African Cup had no impediment to go and do the paperwork. They were not bothered,''Real Betis executive José Antonio Bosch said.
