New Super Eagles defender Ryan Alebiosu is a subject of interest from English Premier League side Everton heading into the January transfer window, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Alebiosu who made his debut for the senior national team of Nigeria at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in their 3-1 win over Uganda, has impressed mightily for Blackburn Rovers in the English Championship.
Reports in England say Everton are not the only team who have noticed the rising profile of the 24 year old, with German side Wolfsburg among his admirers just like Italian side Sassuolo.
Trained at Arsenal, he joined Blackburn from Belgian side KV Kortrijk on a three-year deal in the summer. A move that has seen him grow in leap and bounds earning him international recognition with Nigeria.
He’s made 20 appearances in the Championship this season, scoring once for the team who are currently 20th in the Championship, three points clear of the relegation places, following a 2-0 home defeat to Wrexham on Thursday.
