Gallery: 'Nigerian Ronaldo' to Liverpool? Mikel to Real Madrid? - Nigerian transfer rumour round-up

'Ogenyi Onazi to Merseyside' rumours show no sign of subsiding, with Liverpool linked with a £10 million deal (or £8 million-plus-Fabio Borini) for the Lazio man this summer. Everton may look to contest the deal, while Tottenham Hotspur are also rumoured to be interested in the central midfielder.

Moses Simon, nicknamed the 'Nigerian Ronaldo', is set to be in demand this summer. Major sides such as Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Fenerbahce have been eyeing this talented youngster who appears to have the world at his feet

Despite his troubled season in Turkey, Emmanuel Emenike continues to be linked with a move to the Premier League; London giants Chelsea and Spurs continue to be identified as potential suitors for the forward, although it's hard to envisage how he would fit in, certainly at Jose Mourinho's Pensioners

The Daily Star have reported that Real Madrid are looking to sign John Obi Mikel from Chelsea. The 28-year-old's agent has not moved to deny reports that the Premier League winner is wanted at the Bernabeu. Would this be a good move for the Super Eagles superstar, or would he be destined to spend even more time on the bench?

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have previously been linked to Ahmed Musa. Can the Super Eagle do as Tijani Babaginda recommended and improve his consistency enough to see the big teams take another look?

Kenneth Omeruo looks no closer to a starting berth at Chelsea, and with the club now linked to Everton defender John Stones, it is hard to foresee the Nigerian breaking into Jose Mourinho's first-team plans next term. If Middlesbrough are promoted, an extended loan might be ideal, while Queens Park Rangers-freshly relegated from the Premier League-have been linked in the past and will be looking to reconfigure their ageing defence

Unlike the other players on this list, Anthony Ujah's summer move has already been confirmed, with Werder Bremen having paid the player's contract-release clause to take him from Bundesliga rivals FC Koln

With no future forthcoming at Chelsea, a permanent move to Stoke City looks likely. Mark Hughes has indicated that is keen to keep the Super Eagle at the Britannia Stadium, where, despite his injuries, the 24-year-old appears to have rediscovered his verve

Out of contract with Reading, will Yakubu stick around in England or return to one of the world's more lucrative leagues? Having not scored a single league goal for the Royals, it remains to be seen if Steve Clarke will look to offer him an extension at the Madejski Stadium

When Anichebe's good, he's very good, but unfortunately those moments come along far too rarely for West Bromwich Albion. The Mirror have indicated that Baggies coach Tony Pulis is keen to offload the £5 million-man this summer

Peter Odemwingie is another veteran Nigerian forward who risks being out of work this summer as his current deal at Stoke City ends. Mark Hughes may spy a good opportunity to shift an ageing high-earner from the wage bill, although Odemwingie has outlined his desire to stick around. Would anyone else take a punt on the 33-year-old who recently missed eight months due to injury?

Vincent Enyeama hasn't been as glittering as usual in Ligue 1 for LOSC Lille this season, but he still remains one of the best guardsmen in the French top flight; Besiktas and Liverpool have both been keeping tabs on the Super Eagles No. 1 and may move for the veteran this summer

Despite a brief purple patch earlier in the year, Ideye Brown has failed to justify his big-money transfer to the Hawthorns, and news that West Bromwich are keen on Dieumerci Mbokani does not bode well. Sunderland have previously been linked to the player, will the Throstles look to cut their losses this summer?

Deemed surplus to requirements at Toronto, Bright Dike has been sent out on loan to NASL side San Antonio. Might another Major League Soccer outfit be tempted by this powerful forward? Chicago Fire, who already have a two-man stable of Nigerian strikers, have been linked with a permanent deal

Before Watford had secured promotion, striker Odion Ighalo had been linked with West Bromwich Albion; Tony Pulis may still look to add to his stable of Nigerian strikers this summer, but it's surely more likely that the new Super Eagle remains at Vicarage Road to help his new side upon their return to the EPL

Having seen his role at Celtic reduced somewhat over the last few months, Efe Ambrose may in line for a departure; Crystal Palace and West Ham United were linked to the defender in January, while more recently, Queens Park Rangers and Fulham have been named as potential suitors by the British media

The likely departure of Jason Denayer this summer means that Celtic have a void to fill in defence; Evian Thonon Gaillard defender and Ghana international is favourite to make the move to Glasgow, but Heerenveen's Nigerian stopper has also been linked with a move to join the Buoys

Another Dutch-based Nigerian defender linked to Celtic Park is William Troost-Ekong, who has admitted that he will not be extending his current deal at Groningen, meaning he will be available on a free transfer at the end of next month

One-time Nigerian wonderkid Joel Obi has been linked with a move away from Inter Milan, with newly-promoted Serie A minnows Carpi looking to make him a key part of their side for next season

Sammy Ameobi's contract at Newcastle United ends this summer, and having made a scant impact this term, few would be surprised if he was let go. Wolves, West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace are keeping a close eye on proceedings

Shola Ameobi's short-term Crystal Palace contract ends this summer. Coach Alan Pardew has expressed a desire to keep the forward around due to the positive impact he has on the squad's younger players, but will Palace owner Steve Parish want to tie money down on a 33-year-old who hasn't made a single EPL start this term?
