Everton try to secure Nigerian starlet

According to a report carried on the BBC, Everton are trying to bring in Nigerian Olympic silver medalist Victor Obinna Nsofor on a one year loan before Monday’s transfer deadline.

Obinna Nsofor has returned to Inter Milan from Chievo Verona after helping the latter secure promotion to Serie A last season, but Jose Mourinho’s club is considering re-loaning him to Everton straight away.

The 21-year old was instrumental in his own return as he made it known that he desired to leave Chievo. He also has said that he wants to play in the Champions League.

But the move to England faces the obstacle of obtaining a UK work permit. He does not meet the standard requirements for a work permit to be given by the UK authorities, so a special hearing will have to be convened.
