Leading football agent Oliver Arthur has this week brokered top deals for two Nigerians in Italy - Orji Okwonkwo to Bologna and Theophilus Awua to Inter Milan.

Arthur is now officially managing a quartet of highly promising Nigerians, the other two being Nigeria's Rio 2016 Olympics star Umar Sadiq and Nura Abdulai.

The deals for the Nigerian starlets Okwonkwo and Awua came after the company confirmed two Ghanaian starlets - Shaka Mawuli Eklu and Eleoenai Tompte as joining SPAL Ferrera this summer.

Arthur is now managing a host of +18 players mostly in Europe, including defensive midfield sensation Afriyie Acquah.
