The world of football recruitment is one of a network of agents all around the world. I'm sure Shaun Gill is constantly speaking to different agents all the time. Maybe almost daily.
He's what been doing his role over 10 years? He will have networks of a sort everywhere.
I'm sure at some time, from somewhere an overseas agent has made an enquiry on the behalf of a club about Eze. We all know the A League is much scouted by European clubs. It could have been as simple as a potential transfer talk about Issac Hughes, that then moved to a chat about Ifeanyi. Agents and club staff likely discuss all manor of stuff.
Early on when the Nigerian arrived, Chiefy said that Eze was hoping to use a season at the Nix to springboard into Europe. The Phoenix will know will by now from agent's discussions they are highly unlikely to be able to afford to keep him.
Nothing wrong with that, if everyone is open and honest about it. Plus we never want to see Eze ever put personal glory, ahead of the team. No real evidence of that so far.
