Worgu set to quit Sudan
Nigeria star Stephen Worgu says he wants to leave his Sudanese club El Merreikh after only one year.
He was recently sentenced to 40 lashes and a fine for drink-driving, a charge which he denied.
But he said that his desire to move is motivated by football reasons, not his personal difficulties in Sudan.
"I think I have fulfilled one ambition of playing outside Nigeria and the next step is to take my game to Europe," Worgu told BBC Sport.
He joined the Khartoum giants in October 2008 for US$2.6m, in one of the biggest transfers in African history.
But after spending only a season in Omdurman in Northern Sudan, the young striker is hankering on a move to Europe.
"Already there are offers but in January we will consider the perfect offer for both player and club," Worgu said.
