Serie A Clubs Empoli and Cagliari Chase Nigeria Forward David Okereke
David Okereke, a highly-rated Nigeria forward, is generating significant interest in the transfer market as two Serie A clubs, Empoli and Cagliari, are vying for his services. The 24-year-old striker is reportedly looking to leave Serie B club Cremonese, where he has a one-year contract remaining, this summer.
Okereke’s impressive display at Torino, where he made nine league appearances during the second half of last season, has caught the attention of Empoli and Cagliari. The former U-23 Eagles star has a valuations of €2 million, making him an attractive acquisition for both clubs.
CagliariNews has reported that Cagliari is keen on signing Okereke, but only if they manage to sell their center-forward Gianluca Lapadula first. Meanwhile, Empoli have reportedly tabled an offer for the Nigerian striker, who is keen to take his career to the next level in Serie A.
Okereke’s move could be a shrewd investment for either Empoli or Cagliari, given his experience and goalscoring ability. As both clubs look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the upcoming season, a deal for the highly-rated Okereke could be a savvy move.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as Okereke’s future becomes clearer.
