Eldon keen to stay on
In an exclusive interview with the Halesowen News, fans favourite Eldon Maquemba (pictured) distanced himself from reports he had signed for Cypriot outfit Olympiacos Nicosia and instead stated he was hopeful a deal could be struck to keep him at the Grove for next season.
The 23-year-old Angolan has scored 12 goals since arriving last October, including an amazing match-winning 25-yard effort at home to Chippenham last week.
The striker said: "I want to stay at Halesowen and be part of the success.
"I've really enjoyed my time here in England and I don't want to leave Halesowen without a trophy.
"Hopefully we will be able to come to some sort of agreement."
The claim on a Cypriot football website that Maquemba had supposedly agreed to join Olympiacos Nicosia on April 24 came as a shock to manager Morrell Maison.
He added: "I was told about this on Tuesday morning because I don't go on the web so it was news to me.
"At times I just don't know where these people get their information from.
"Eldon and I are currently on the way to the Grove to try and come to some sort of agreement because he's someone we want to keep here.
"All things being good a deal could be signed by the end of today (Wednesday)."
His signature would be a major boost for the Yeltz with top goalscorer Dean Brennan already signed up for next year.

Opposition supporter I may be, football fan I certainly am. This guy is very good, if he's on contract, then Halesowen will bank cash for him over the next 12 months.
