Back to Square One, Sunderland turns down Nigerian Striker!!!!

Former Schalke forward Chinedu Obasi has left
English Premier League side Sunderland after
manager Sam Allardyce decided not to offer him a
contract.
The 29-year-old Nigerian International  Player was
released by the Bundesliga club in the summer
after making just 10 league starts in three years.
"Obasi had a relatively successful trial but for
obvious reasons the club wants someone who
can make an immediate impact," a source close
to the player has told BBC Sport.
The free agent, who has 18 caps for Nigeria and
holds a German passport, has returned to
Germany and is now exploring other options.
"There are some interested clubs from the English
Championship because he has a lovely CV for a
freeplayer.
"He showed his creativity by scoring goals during
his Sunderland spell, a strong indication that he
will be playing football at the top level sooner
rather than later."In his three years with Schalke,
Obasi scored just four goals in 34 games in all
competitions.He was signed by Schalke after a
brief loan spell in 2012, having scored 25 goals in
91 Bundesliga appearances for German rivals
Hoffenheim.The striker previously played for
Norwegian top division side Lyn before moving to
Hoffenheim in 2007.
Obasi appeared in Nigeria's three group matches
at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.He is the
only Nigerian to have appeared in all Fifa World
Cups [Under 17, Under 20 and Senior] as well as
the Olympics.
