Super Eagles midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi is set to sign a deal with newly-promoted Italian Serie A club Crotone.

The 27-year-old is set to join the side on a free transfer having severed ties with his former club in Turkey, Denizlispor.

He terminated his contract with the Turkish Super Lig side over unpaid wages – a problem that must have risen due to the coronavirus pandemic.
