Brighton, Brentford handed boost in pursuit of Nigerian winger as Romanian champions end interest

FCSB have ended their interest in signing Philip Otele, who is attracting concrete interest from Premier League club Brighton & Hove and has been scouted by Brentford. The two Premier League clubs have been handed a boost in their pursuit of the Nigerian winger, with the newly crowned Romanian champions pulling out of the race for his signature due to concerns over his valuation, according to All Nigeria Soccer. 

Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB, revealed that the proposed transfer of CFR Cluj star Philip Otele, who is wanted in the Premier League, has fallen through.

He further stated his lack of interest in signing Otele as he is unwilling to part with even a single cent.

CFR Cluj owner Ioan Varga has been contacted by Brighton & Hove regarding the transfer of Otele.

The Railwaymen have demanded £6m, almost €7m plus 20% of the sell-on fee if Otele departs the Seagulls before the expiration of his contract.
