French side, Stade de Reim are reportedly interested in signing Nigeria international and Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho.
According to football transfer expert Luca Bendoni, Uzoho is on the list as a possible replacement for Reim’s goalkeeper Patrick Pentz, who could be making a move to MLS side, Colorado Rapids.
“Understand that Stade de Reims’s GK Patrick Pentz is “getting closer” to completing MLS move as per @UnionArdennais. Pentz is Colorado Rapids’ target – Francis Uzoho was on the list too, and now Reims are among the clubs looking at him,” Bendoni said in a tweet.
Bendoni had earlier reported that MLS side Colorado Rapids and French Ligue 1 side Toulouse were interested in signing the Nigerian.
The 24-year-old’s contract with Omonia ends at the end of this season and the player will be open to potential transfer opportunities.
The former Deportivo La Coruña goalie has been in fine form for the Cyprus side in the 2022/23 season and has made 15 league appearances with eight clean sheets in the Cypriot First Division.
Nicosia are currently fifth on the table in the Cypriot first division league with 34 points from 20 matches and lost 2-1 to Nea Salamis at the Ammochostos Stadium on Sunday.
Uzoho made headlines last season following his brilliant performance against Manchester United in the Europa League group stage match at Old Trafford where he won the man-of the-match award despite Omonia losing 1-0.
