Obasi faces English work permit hurdle

October 25, 2015 220 Views

Nigeria international, Chinedu Obasi is almost certain to escape the strict work permit requirements to play in the English Premier League as Sunderland pursues interest to sign him.

It was gathered that Obasi has a German passport and will therefore not have so much problems securing the permission.

Sunderland manager is expected to make a decision whether or not to offer the Nigeria international a contract next week should he prove he is in tip – top condition.

Obasi was awarded German citizenship in March 2015, having successfully applied for the document after spending eight years in the country.

The former Schalke 04 striker had been offered to a few clubs in the Premier League during the January transfer window but was not receptive as he was aware he did not meet the new criteria for a work permit as at that time.
