Monaco have endured a somewhat frustrating transfer campaign, failing to secure the services of a number of strikers. However, they are making progress with their midfield corps and are on the verge of signing Seyi Olofinjana from Premier League side Stoke City, according to L’Equipe.
The Parisian-based publication notes that the two clubs are “about to reach an agreement” with regard to the player, who is 29-years-old.and has played in England in each of the last five campaigns, four of which he spent with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
An experienced Nigerian international, Olofinjana has a contract with the Potters that expires in 2012, having only joined the club from Wolves last summer.
Should he complete the switch to the principality club, he will join Djimi Traore at the Stade Louis II, the former Liverpool and Portsmouth player having completed his move to the Guy Lacombe-coached outfit in the opening weeks of the window. Monaco’s only other new recruit to date this summer is Zenit St. Petersburg centre-back Sebastien Puygrenier, who has made the switch on loan.
Meanwhile, Lacombe continues to chase offensive reinforcements after a move for Steve Savidan fell through due to the striker possessing a heart condition that forced him to quit the game.
