The Guangzhou R&F starlet used the opportunity handed him by Super
Eagles coach Stephen Keshi to showcase his skills to a number of
European clubs based in Russia, Germany and Turkey.
But it is CSKA Moscow who lead the race for his signature, with Aaron
Samuel already agreeing personal terms with the back-to-back Russian
champions.
The team from the old Soviet Union will test Guangzhou R&F's
resolve not to sell the Nigeria international by tabling an
'astronomical offer' that will make them shred the agreement they have
with the 20-year-old.
That said, last month Guangzhou R&F had rejected an enquiry from
Shanghai East Asia, who were prepared to offer the attacker a three-year
deal, and the prospect of reuniting with his former manager, Sven Goran
Eriksson.
CSKA Moscow hope to conclude thrashing out terms with their Asian counterparts probably before the second week of January.
Aaron Samuel, who has made 16 appearances for Guangzhou R&F since
joining from Sarpsborg 08, is tied to the Chinese club until December
31, 2016.
At the start of this year, the Shooting Stars product trained with Monaco but the transfer failed to materialize.
