Former Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, is on the verge of joining Brazilian club, Botafogo, with the deal likely to be concluded on Friday (today).
Mikel is a free agent after terminating his contract with Turkish club, Trabzonspor, in March due to comments he made on coronavirus on Instagram.
According to reports on Yahoo Sports, the 32-year-old has been negotiating for a few days with the Rio club and there is optimism within the board that a deal could be made for the Nigerian soon. (Text and photo courtesy Punch)
