ALL things being equal, Super Eagles midfielder Sunday Mba is expected to seal a deal with French side Bastia any time from now.
Mba who scored Nigeria's lone goal in the final of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) against Burkina Faso is believed to have dotted the i s and crossed T s for the much-awaited foreign deal which would run for three years.
"Sunday completed his travel documents since last week and he is to go and sign for Bastia of
France. The contract is to run for three years," a source offered.
It will be recalled that Mba shortly after his five-star performance at 2013 AFCON in South
Africa has been engulfed in a transfer row between Warri Wolves and Rangers which gave him a lot of sleepless nights.
The intervention of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) did little or nothing to free the player from the row until amicable settlement was reached by the two contending parties.
Mba's spectacular goal against the Elephants of Cote d'Ivoire at AFCON 2013 was rated as one the best in recent times on the continent.
The goal was later rated 24th in the Goal 50 Award won by Argentina and FC Barcelona's Lionel
Messi.
Mba was instrumental to Nigeria's qualification for the Africa Nations Championships (CHAN) billed for South Africa in 2014.
