The 2009 FIFA U-17 silver medallist was at his best during Monday night's international friendly against Italy at Craven Cottage, London which ended in a 2-2 draw impressing Liverpool scouts who were on hand to watch the grudge match.
Onazi told the Daily Express that he will accept any offer from The Reds with both hands saying he is prepared for the January move to Anfield.
"I would jump at the chance to play in the Premier League. Liverpool? They are a huge team and are attractive to any footballer. I could see myself playing for them," the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner was quoted as saying by the Daily Expres.
Onazi however, is in a dilemma as Lazio seem not willing to let him go having rejected Fiorentina's bid to secure first option on the player if his eventual exit from the Italian side is sanctioned.
Moses on loan from Chelsea has been a success story since his move to Liverpool as Onazi's combination with him if released by Lazio will be a boost to coach Stephen Keshi in his bid to fortify the Super Eagles ahead of the 2014 World Cup.
Keshi speaking after the game in London had explained why he always loved to feature Onazi in his team as a result of his consistency.
"A lot of people asked me questions why I believed so much in him (Onazi) when I called him into the squad. He has come on greatly in the last one year I have to say, always improving, always demanding for the ball, showing for team mates in trouble and showing high tactical awareness in the heat of the battle. Like many of his team mates he is only going to get better," Keshi said
