He also visited VVV Venlo to seek the possible release of Ahmed Musa, Alex Nkume, and Uchebo Okechukwu. “The response from the club directors has so far been encouraging. Those that I have met with have requested for some days to give us definite answers but from their body language I am confident we would get a favorable response” stated the coach.
Eguavoen has already visited Sheffield Wednesday, the club of Uchechi Daniels where he got a re-assurance of his release and German club Mainz, the club of Anthony Ujah who requested that an invitation letter be sent apart from the notification letter already received by the club.
