Spanish top division side Cadiz are keen on improving on their last season finish of 14th, hence the need to strengthen the team before the close of the ongoing summer transfer window, OwnGoalNigeria.comreports.
They started their campaign in this season LaLiga with a 1-0 win over Alaves with Fede scoring the lone goal of the game in the 7th minute, a game they ended with ten men following the sending off of Gonzalo Escalante with two minutes left to play.
Ahead of their next league game against Barcelona, one of the areas they badly need more options is in the midfield and they have identified 27 year old Nigeria international Oghenekaro Etebo as a prime option.
Etebo spent last season at Greek side Aris Thessaloniki on loan from English Championship side Stoke City. He is back at Stoke City but yet again he has been told he is surplus to requirements.
