Nigeria midfielder Ogenyi Onazi has denied involvement in match-fixing, after being implicated by an undercover operation.
Onazi, 21, was caught on camera - planted by English newspaper The Sun - meeting with player agent Henry Chukwuma Okoroji and an alleged match-fixer, with the player reportedly present to benefit the agent's chances of securing a fix.
The Lazio man said he turned down the advance to organise a yellow card, or a penalty, after discovering why the meeting was set up - only attending as he was led to believe it was an 'endorsement proposition'.
"My attention has been drawn to a publication relating to issues about match fixing,"
