Flying Eagles Captain team Ikouwem Udoh will in the next few weeks put pen to paper on a five year deal with Israeli side Maccabi Haifa.
Swedish clubside Malmo were the front runners for his signature but they now appear to be second favorite to land the Enyimba left full back following the latest offer by Maccabi Haifa.
Sports247 gathered that the Isreali side are using ex-Nigeria international Yakubu Aiyegbeni who is a legend at the club and now head their scouting in Africa to pull the deal through before the player represent Nigeria at the U20 World Youth Championship in Poland.
Maccabi Haifa will be offering the one cap Super Eagles player a straight deal in the region of €250,000.
