The winter transfer window could mean different things to different players, but for those who are not having the best of time in their current clubs, it could be an opportunity to try their skills in a different surrounding, even if temporarily.

A number of Super Eagles players has seen their relevance, or performance questioned by the locals, and the January transfer window provides an opportunity for a change, of which is needed mostly by one or two of these ones.

Perhaps, we might have picked in this piece three of these ones who really will do with a new club by the turn of the new year.

Henry Onyekuru: There is little to suggest Onyekuru's romance with Monaco in the French Ligue 1 has been a success.

After his celebrated move to the Stade Louis II in August, he has failed to hit the ground running so far and is understandably seeking the best possible escape route.


He was last seen in competitive action with the club's team B side, and he's still yet to make his league debut for the side he joined in July 2018.

Maduka Okoye: There have been a widely held belief on the part of the Super Eagles glovesman, that playing in the Regionalliga West, same as Germany's fourth tier does not precisely provide enough stats and figures to explain that the Fortuna Düsseldorf ace is qualified enough for the national team.

He can go some way to allaying such notions with a move to a much more prominent division, where he can be scrutinized better.
