Yes, that was it. Germany is super liberal with immigration regulations (they even let me in!). I guess the irony is now that he's getting call-ups to the Super Eagles, he'd be more likely to get one. But he wouldn't get call-ups until he performed at the club level. Union got what seems an amazing deal (only 6.5 million euros for a guy that already has 11 goals this year in all competitions), but they probably had Liverpool a bit over a barrel too.IIRC wasn’t his problem he never could get a work permit in the UK ?
