Cameroun international goalkeeper, Carlos Kameni, has agreed to undergo trial spell with Bolton Wanderers and if he succeeds, his move may threaten the chances of Nigeria`s number one goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, the Enyimba keeper, who earlier went through trials in the club last season.
Bolton Manager, Sam Allardyce, had invited Enyeama to try his luck ahead of the club`s Premiership campaign this season, after observing his exploits with the Nigerian national team.
Enyeama completed the trials at the Reebok Stadium early this year but Bolton officials are yet to invite him for proper contract talks.
It is not clear if the premiership side, that also parades Super Eagles skipper, Austin
Okocha, will finally go for the Camerounian after his trials.
Either of them may grab the club`s jersey as the team`s officials may not be able to afford the services of two African goalkeepers. Enyeama himself said in a recent interview that he will soon join the team at Reebok Stadium During Enyeama`s stay in London, the keeper enjoyed the full support of skipper Okocha, who helped to facilitate his trial negotiations.
Okocha has assured that he will help his compatriot to feel at home if Bolton considers him fit enough for the task ahead. "I will help Enyeama to get the best hospitality if he comes to Bolton. I think he deserves a big club now that he is doing well and I will help him in my own way if his trials yield positive results," Okocha said.
