Negotiations between the interested teams and Standard Liege are at an advanced stage, with the future of the one - cap Nigeria international expected to be decided as early as this coming Friday.
SL10.ng can exclusively report that Tottenham Hotspur, FC Porto, Fiorentina, Werder Bremen and CSKA Moscow have made contact with both Standard Liege and Imoh Ezekiel's camp regarding a contract.
But the stumbling block is that the financial terms being offered by these European clubs did not meet the club's valuation of the player.
Therefore, if it comes to a bidding war, a move to the Middle East cannot be ruled out due to the fact that the Gulf clubs have more money in their transfer kitty to activate the 20 - year - olds release clause as well as meet his wage demands.
It is understood that Tottenham Hotspur are mulling over signing him from Standard Liege, and loaning him back immediately to the Belgium champions as a result of the strict work permit requirements in the United Kingdom.
Imoh Ezekiel still has contractual obligations with Standard Liege until the summer of 2017.
