German Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt have target the signing of Nigeria international midfielder Raphael Onyedika in the January transfer window from Belgium side Club Brugge, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Onyedika was widely expected to leave the Belgium outfit in the summer transfer window, but clubs failed to meet the €30 million price tag shifting his potential exit to January.
Reports in Germany said Eintracht Frankfurt who have been a longtime admirer of the 24 year old have put his name down, as one of the players they will be pushing to sign in the January transfer window.
They expect Club Brugge to be a little bit flexible on their demands than they were in the summer, especially as the player is keen on moving to a top league, and more importantly a team in the UEFA champions league.
Eintracht Frankfurt will test the water with a bid towards the end of the year in the hope of sealing an agreement, before the midfielder who is currently injured departs for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament with Nigeria.
