German Bundesliga newcomers Hannover 96 have stepped up their pursuit of out-of-favor Nigeria forward Anthony Ujah who is reportedly eager to ditch his relegation-bound Chinese Super League outfit Liaoning Whowin this summer.
Hannover manager Andre Breitenreiter, who is scouring the transfer market for a proven goalscorer to ensure the Reds retain their top-flight status at the end of the season, has set Ujah out as a key transfer target.
The 26-year-old, who joined Liaoning from Bundesliga side Werder Bremen on July 5, 2016 on a four-year deal worth around €13m, wants a fresh start and has reportedly agreed terms with Hannover to return to Germany where he made a name for himself between 2012 and 2016.
Meanwhile, Manchester City star Kelechi Iheanacho was omitted from the squad who travelled to the United States on Monday for their pre-season tour.
The Citizens manager Pep Guardiola surprisingly including Samir Nasri, Eliaquim Mangala, Gael Clichy and Jason Denayer, who have been declared surplus to requirements, shunning Nigeria striker Iheanacho and Ivory Coast forward Wilfried Bony.
