Stephen Worgu was the top scorer in last seasons African Champions League, and is being targeted by a host of English Premier League Teams. Newcastle are thought to be leadeing the chase as Obafemi Martins has reccomended him as a bargin, as he keeps up to date with African football. However, Newcastle are likely to face competition from a number of leading clubs including Arsenal, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth and Spurs. Worgu is just 19 and the Nigerian currently plies his trade at Al-Merriekh of Sudan. He first became noticed at former Nigerian league champions Ocean Boys of Bayelsa. After two seasons in Bayelsa, he joined Enyimba at the start of last season, where his performances attracted interests from Egypt, France, Germany and Denmark. In this year's African Champions League, he scored 13 goals for Nigerian club Enyimba, who lost to Al Ahly of Egypt in the semi-finals. He has been nominated for the best player in the just-ended tournament.
