Out of favour Super Eagles midfielder Uche Agbo has agreed a deal to join Belgium top division side Gent from fellow top division side Gent, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Agbo was close to sealing a return to Granada who were recently promoted to the Laliga but the move to his former side didn’t see the light of the day and he will now remain in Belgium but with Gent.
His signing will be officially announced by the club after passing a routine medical at the club earlier today and sources close to the deal reveal it will be a four year deal with the option of another year.
23 year old Agbo will fill the vacuum created by the exit of another Nigerian in Anderson Esiti who left Gent in the summer for Greek side PAOK. Agbo will also join two other Nigerians on the book of Gent namely Rueben Yem and Philip Azango.
He spent the second half of last season on loan to Spanish side Rayo Vallecano but was unable to help them maintain their top flight status.
