The race for the signature of Super Eagles defender Zaidu Sanusi is getting more interesting with three English Premier League clubs now set to go head to head for the FC Porto man, Nigeriasoccernet can report.
Fulham were initially the only side vying for his signature after Tottenham failed bid in January but the duo of Crystal Palace and Brighton are now reported to have joined the race to sign the 25-year-old, who scored the goal which won the Primeira Liga title for Porto last season.
Sanusi scored three times across 40 appearances for Porto, with one of the goals sealing a vital win over Benfica in May and the league title for the Dragons.
Porto are not particularly keen on selling the former Santa Clara defender, and any interested club may have to activate the release clause in his contract to complete the deal.
Sanusi has a release clause valued at around 50 million euros (?22 billion).
Currently with the Nigeria National Team, Sanusi may not return to FC Porto next season if an agreement is reached between Porto and any of his admirers.
