Super Eagles team B midfielder Ejike Uzeoenyi returned from South Africa where he helped the Eagles to a third place finish at the the CAF African Nations Championship without tying down a deal with any of the South African premier league clubs that wanted him.
Uzoenyi was voted the most valuable player of the tournament after a thrilling performance. He had stayed back hoping to make a switch from Rangers of Enugu.
"I'm back in Nigeria now after holding talks with a club in South Africa. Nothing has been agreed upon yet but my manager will continue to discuss with them," Uzoenyi declared Reports emerged from South Africa this week claiming that Uzoenyi held talks with SuperSport United.
The fleet-footed left winger has through his lawyers written to Rangers for his release as a free player from the 'Flying Antelopes' fold in the third week of January.
Uzoenyi joined Rangers from Enyimba in the 2009/2010 season in exchange for Bishop Onyeudo and has risen steadily to be the highest paid player of 'The Flying Antelopes'. Rangers general manager Paul Chibuzor insisted Uzoenyi remains a player of the club and if he moves overseas, Rangers will get what is due to them.
"We are very happy by the successes recorded by our players at the recent CHAN competition and much happier with the fact that clubs are scrambling for the services of some of them especially, Ejike Uzoenyi who is still our player," said the top Rangers official.
"Details for any move have not been completed but when it becomes clear, we shall celebrate it. Ejike Uzoenyi is and remains a Rangers player. I am not aware of any move to deny Rangers what belongs to them."
