Swedish newspaper Klacksparken said Twente have the most concrete offer for the Nigeria defender as they are shopping to buy another central defender.

Incidentally, ex-Kwara United star Arokoyo has tried out at Twente two years ago, but was not given a contract.

Mjallby official Jorgen Martinsson said: “We can say that he should stay because he has a contract with us. But he’s been pretty clear to us. If a club come, we will listen and see what is best for him and the club.”

The tall, 21-year-old defender, who has represented Nigeria at U20 and ‘B’ international levels, has played a total of 36 times for Mjallby.

He has thus far interested clubs in Sweden and France.
