The former Chelsea midfield enforcer is a target for Botafogo but the Brazilian side could face a serious battle for his signature from another American side, Monterrey and Tigres of Mexico.

Since he left in March, the former Nigerian international has been linked with several clubs including a move back to England. Brazilian side, Botafogo were reportedly close to signing the Nigerian.
