25 June 2011<\/p>\n

Red-hot Nigerian striker Anthony Ujah has joined German Bundesliga club Mainz for three million euros pending a medical.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to media reports in Norway, his club Lillestrom will be paid 2.5 million euros and earn an extra 500,000 euros once the 20-year-old Ujah has made 10 appearances for the German top flight club, who will feature in the UEFA Champions League after they finished fifth this past season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lillestrom though have refused to comment on the player\u2019s transfer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ujah trained only lightly Thursday and will fly out to Germany Saturday for a medical as well as to negotiate his own personal terms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ujah joined the Norwegian club in February 2010 on a four-year contract.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Nigeria Olympic international has netted 13 goals in 12 matches this season. He has scored a total of 27 goals for his Norwegian club in 33 appearances over two seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His phenomenal goals record have attracted suitors from across Europe \u2013 Brondby in Denmark, CSKA of Russia and Nancy in France.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In January, he was close to teaming up with Spanish side Real Mallorca, but the deal fell through after the islanders failed to produce a bank guarantee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Interestingly, another Nigerian striker, Oke Akpoveta from Ujah\u2019s last Nigerian club, Warri Wolves, will most likely be the direct replacement for Ujah.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old Akpoveta has already trained with Lillestrom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
