According to a report in El Periodico de Aragon, a Spanish local paper, Toronto FC have shown interest in Real Zaragoza winger James Igbekeme as a potential TAM signing. Although the deal does not appear to be particularly close (or making much progress), it’s the first name we’ve heard with regard to TFC’s transfer targets after Alejandro Pozuelo.
Igbekeme is a 23-year-old winger from Nigeria, with the unbelievably cool nickname of “Black Panther,” according to his Wikipedia entry. His profile would certainly fit the bill for what TFC are after.
However, the report from Spain suggests that the Segunda Division club have scoffed at TFC’s offer for the player.
