Yes of course there are work permit issues. There are medical issues, because they have to make medicals. It’s progressing well.

We identified Nwakali as the player of the tournament, basically, and as a top player. We will see if we can manage to get it over the line during this transfer period. [If we can], we will do it. He (Chukwueze) is signing as well.
