Gunners want Mba 20 Apr 2013 13:11:57 George Akpayen English Barclays Premier League club, Arsenal, have
made official contact with Nigeria Professional
Football League (NPFL) club, Warri Wolves for
Sunday Mba. Mba, 23, has been linked with several clubs in
Europe in the wake of his superb performance at
the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa,
where his goal helped Nigeria win a third African
title. "I've been contacted by people from Arsenal that
they want to see Sunday Mba," claimed Warri
Wolves chairman, Pinnick Amaju on Saturday. Pinnick made it clear that Wolves have put an
asking fee of $1 million (around N156 million) on
Mba, adding that the club are in the transfer
business to make financial gains after investing
heavily on the Nigerian striker. The Warri Wolves' chief also lifted the lid that an
undisclosed club in the Norwegian top flight have
signified interest to pay $600,000 (around N94
million) for the services of Mba. "A club from Norway have said to us that they are
ready to sign Mba immediately after medicals for
$600,000," said Pinnick. Pinnick, who is also Delta State Football Association
chairman, made it clear that if Mba insists on moving
to Rangers then both clubs will sit and iron out an
agreement. "If the player wants to play for Rangers then we
will sit with them and discuss. We know Rangers
don't have the financial capacity to pay $1 million
for Mba at the moment. So we will sit and discuss
and include sell-on clauses since we own him," said
Pinnick. Mba has been a subject of a transfer tussle between
Enugu Rangers and Warri Wolves since his eye-
catching outing at the Afcon. Arsenal were recently linked with another Nigerian
player, Godfrey Oboabona but his club, Sunshine
Stars baulked at the offer of a trials for their
defender.
