Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) club, Enugu Rangers, could finally land Super Eagles' goalkeeper, Chigozie Agbim this week.
.
But we have been informed that the Flying Antelopes could end up snapping the shot- stopper from Warri Wolves only on a loan deal till the end of this season.
.
Rangers are said to be exploring the possibility of a loan deal for the Nigerian goalkeeper as at last week but the effort fell through on the eve of their trip to Bujumbura in Burundi where they faced Vital'O in the Caf Champions League on Sunday.
.
"Rangers were very close to finalising paperwork to get Agbim before the trip to Bujumbura last Wednesday. They listed his name among the 18 travelling players with the expectation that they would get him just before they left the country.
.
"Unfortunately they couldn't finish the paperwork to secure the deal. So I believe when Rangers return to the country this week, they will continue from where they stopped regarding Agbim's transfer," said a source from the Rangers' camp.
.
Before now, Warri Wolves were demanding for a transfer fee of N15 million from Rangers for the Nigerian goalkeeper.
.
Rangers had offered N4 million, which their Professional Football League rivals baulked at until a loan deal was mooted recently owing to the fact that the Flying Antelopes had registered the goalkeeper for the Caf Champions League before they agreed on a deal with Wolves.

The goalkeeper would be a wonderful addition to the team. They've made the right decision to bring him on. Enugu rangers has done very well.
