Osas wants out of Owerri

Heartland forward, Jolly Osas is a major doubt to resume at the Naze Millionaires' camp on September 24 for the 2012/2013 NPL season.
The petite goal-poacher was instrumental in his side's 2-1 Cup win against Lobi Stars in Lagos as well as the Caf Confederation Cup and league campaign.
Osas said he is being hotly chased by prime NPL sides for the new season.
"It seems I've seen the last of Heartland, I doubt whether I'll resume there on September 24.
"I have lots of offers from top teams in the land as we speak, I've even started useful discussions with them.
"Though nothing has been agreed which is my making because I want to take a careful look at the teams and weigh what they are offering before I append signature.
"So it's almost certain I've bade Heartland farewell. I enjoyed my stay at Heartland but I think it's time to march on when the ovation is loudest.
"No, it's not yet ripe to reveal the identities of the clubs I'm discussing with or those who are coming up with new offers.
"That would be made public at the appropriate time and everybody will know where I'm heading to," the former 3SC striker told supersport.com.
Unconfirmed report has linked the former Zamfara United player with Lobi Stars, NPL runners-up and Enugu Rangers among others.
Osas will be the second high profile players said to be leaving the Owerri-based side. The other one is the side's inspirational captain and former Rangers' centre-back, Chinedu Efugh.
Heartland will campaign in the Caf Confederation Cup competition next year. They finished the 2011/2012 NPL season on 51 points from 36 matches.
