Spanish top division side Cadiz are keen on improving on their last season finish of 14th, hence the need to strengthen the team before the close of the ongoing summer transfer window, OwnGoalNigeria.comreports.
They started their campaign in this season LaLiga with a 1-0 win over Alaves with Fede scoring the lone goal of the game in the 7th minute, a game they ended with ten men following the sending off of Gonzalo Escalante with two minutes left to play.
Ahead of their next league game against Barcelona, one of the areas they badly need more options is in the midfield and they have identified 27 year old Nigeria international Oghenekaro Etebo as a prime option.
Etebo spent last season at Greek side Aris Thessaloniki on loan from English Championship side Stoke City. He is back at Stoke City but yet again he has been told he is surplus to requirements.
Stoke are keen on moving on the Nigerian permanently but Cadiz like a host of other teams are only looking at loan deal with the option of a permanent signing at the end of the season.
Cadiz are however said to be the front runners for his signing and talks are progressing nicely. Etebo is keen on getting his career back on track as he bid fight his way back into the senior national team of Nigeria, where he has 45 caps but last played for the team in November 2022, when they suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to world cup bound Portugal in a friendly game.
