Now, it seems Chima’s chances of landing a deal with the Sky Blues have been boosted.
As per a report from All Nigeria Soccer, the youngster impressed in a friendly against non-league side Leamington, boosting his chances of earning a deal with Robins’ men.
Udoka has attracted plenty of interest from elsewhere, with the same source stating earlier this summer that Newcastle United were alongside Portuguese pair Benfica and Braga in eyeing up the defender.
The Nigerian is available on a free transfer this summer, so it awaits to be seen if he can land a club ahead of the new season.
