ways, Africanfootball.com reports.

According to Uzoenyi’s agent, Mohammed Lawal, a talk with Sundowns to release the player in January is on-going.
“He will certainly be playing somewhere else in January,” said the Johannesburg-based agent, who claims there are interests in South Africa and overseas for the player.
Uzoenyi made his international debut for Nigeria in 2012, and has appeared in FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.
He was named to Nigeria’s squad for the 2014 African Nations Championship (CHAN) and was selected the most valuable player of the tournament. He was also named in the provisional squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup making the final squad after Uwa Echiejile was excluded by injury
The former ranger player was recently in Nigeria to celebrate the birth of his child.
