AFCON star Ogenyi Onazi has said he hopes to quit Lazio at season's end and believes his showings with Nigeria could make this possible.
.
The former schoolboy international, who recently signed an improved deal with Lazio till 2016, has lately seen very limited playing time at the Rome- based club.
.
He told MTNFootball.com he is open to a better deal when the summer transfer window opens.
.
"Though I am happy with my club Lazio, I look forward to a move in the summer and I am hoping this Nations Cup win would play a huge role in this regard," Onazi told MTNFootball.com Onazi watched from the bench as fourth-placed Lazio fell 3-0 to Innocent Emeghara's Siena on Monday.
.
Onazi was one of the shining lights as Nigeria went all the way to claim a third Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa this month.

He proved his versatility when he filled in for the suspended Efe Ambrose at right back before he came in for the suspended Fegor Ogude at defensive midfield to keep his place in the Eagles starting XI.
