Isaac Okoronkwo, Okoronkwo

The Nigerian of 31 years old, former player at Şahtior and FC Moscow, arrives today in the training camp from Antalya

Isaac Okoronkwo, 31 years old is the stopper chosen by Mihai Stoichiţă. Steaua has already negotiated with him and the football player will be today in Turkey, in the training camp of Steaua. The information was confirmed for gsp by the agent of the player, Arsen Minasov: "There are big chances for the transfer to be made. Isaac will be in Turkey on Monday morning!".

The Nigerian of 1,87 meters played last season for FC Moscow, a team which occupied the 6th place in the Russian championship, but which retired recently from the competition because of the financial problems. Okoronkwo was free of contract, anyway, because the agreement with Muscovites had expired.

The African has also played in his career at Şeriff Tiraspol, Şahtior, Wolverhampton and Alania. From Moldavia, Isaac left exactly before Stoichiţă’s arrival. "Lippi" coached at Tiraspol in 2001. He didn’t catch Okoronkwo, who had just been sold at Şahtior.

20 matches played Okoronkwo at FC Moscow last season, all as title

3 seasons has spent Okoronkwo at Şahtior Doneţk, where Marian Aliuţă and Marian Savu were his colleagues


On the list there was also a Byelorussian
Steaua was also proposed a central defender from the national team of Belarus, who is also free of contract. It is about Serghei Sosnovsky, 28 years old, last time he played at BATE Borisov. The Byelorussian was also on Rapid’s list this summer, but at that time he was not free and the officials from Giuleşti refused to pay to BATE 200.000 euro.
