"The player has accepted to join us," he told Modern Sport late on Thursday.

"But reports which claimed that Worgu has already signed for us are untrue."

Egyptian champions Ahli have made no secret of their desire to lure the 19-year-old striker to Cairo.

However, the excessive demands of Nigerian side Enyimba to offload their prized asset led to negotiations being halted.

Worgu has been in a great form for Enyimba this season, scoring 13 teams in the Champions League for the Elephants.
