Ogenyi Onazi Set To Join Another Serie A Club, Crotone
After a long spell with Lazio before heading out for stints with a handful of Turkish teams, there are strong indications that Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi is set to join newly-promoted Italian side, Crotone.
According to reports monitored by newsmen in the Italian media, the 27-year old should complete his move as a free agent to Crotone within the next 48 hours.
Tuttomercatoweb even reports that Crotone could close the negotiations with Onazi by Wednesday.
