Lazio and Nigeria midfielder Ogenyi ‘Eddy’ Onazi said this “is not the right moment for the Premier League.”

Currently in Africa on international duty, Onazi spoke to Nigerian media Sl10.ng on summer links with the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham.

“Am I disappointed that I didn’t move to the Premier League? No. God has his time and maybe this is not the time but I’m enjoying myself at Lazio.

“I just signed a new contract and everything is going on fine so I’m just looking forward to the future.”

Despite putting pen to paper on this extension, Onazi has struggled for playing time in Serie A this season.

“Remember I got injured at the World Cup and when I returned to my club I had to recuperate properly before I started playing. And you know the Coach already had his team so he’s not just going to alter it just like that.

“It is going to be a gradual process because we will ease me in gradually and I’ve played in our last set of matches before I came here. So that’s the way it is.

“The Coach has his formation and if it is working while you’re out, you just have to be patient and know that it will be a gradual process before you return.”
