South African defender Ime Okon has emerged as a top transfer target for an unnamed German outfit following an impressive performance.
The 21-year-old centre-back is set to become a free agent as his current contract with SuperSport United expires on June 30. His outstanding display in the just ended campaign has caught the attention of several clubs both domestically and internationally.
Despite Kaizer Chiefs expressing interest in the defender, an unnamed Germain is reportedly closing in on a move for Ime Okon.
The club is finalizing a deal with the player and could head to Germany in the coming days for a medical examination.
Recently, Ime Okon made his debut for the South African national team and helped them secure silver at the COSAFA Cup.
Ime Okon made 24 appearances across competitions in the just ended football campaign for SuperSport United, racking up one goals in the process.
The young defender joined SuperSport United in 2023 and established himself as a key member of the team.
