Chidozie Awaziem is likely to seal a transfer from Portuguese club Boavista to Ligue 1 side, Nantes.

Nantes on Tuesday reached agreement to sign the Super Eagles defender as replacement for Andrei Girotto, who moved to Saudi club Al-Tawooun.

Awaziem previously spent the 2017/18 season at Beaujoire Stadium and is expected to sign a four-year contract. ​

Awaziem was on loan at Croatian side Hadjuk Split.

He’ll be joining his international teammate Moses Simon at the club, although the Winger could leave at the end of current season as he’s yet to agree an extension.
