Super Eagles left-back, Elderson Echiejile could soon on his way to England to team up with Barclays English Premier League club, Everton.
.
Echiejile who made 18 league appearances for Portuguese Super Liga club, Sporting Braga last season is wanted by the Toffees as a replacement for Leighton Baines who could be on his way to champions, Manchester United.
.
Baines has been consistently linked with a move to United in a deal that will see him reunite with his former manager, David Moyes.
.
Authoritative British newspaper, the Mirror has now reported that Echiejile is on the radar of the Everton manager, Roberto Martinez.
.
The 25-year-old is rated at £1.5 million (about N373 million) and has been capped 33 times by Nigeria.
.
Braga have a £4 million release clause in Echiejile's contract, but accept they will have to sell at a fraction of that price as the defender has just a year remaining on his contract.
.
Echiejile began his football education at Nigeria league club, Bendel Insurance FC, making his debut in 2004.
.
He spent three years at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium before moving to Rennes in 2007, but was unable to establish himself in France and moved to Braga three years later, having made only 19 appearances for Les Rouges et Noirs.
.
He did, however, make his international debut during his stint in France.
.
He has made 64 appearances for Braga following his arrival in 2010, but with an opportunity to have a crack at the Premier League with an established team such as Everton, it appears his days in Portugal could be winding down.
Echiejile deserve this cos he is a fantastic footballer anytime anyday when it comes to African Football. He does well as a winger too
