The one-cap Super Eagles striker registered 13 goals and ten assists in 30 Super Lig appearances, helping his side to their first league triumph in over 30 years.

Off the pitch, he could not agree with the club on new contract terms after it expired at the just concluded season.

The Turkish club could not meet his demands, and after back and forth, the Nigerian had to leave as he now searches for a new team.

According to Fanatik, the Super Eagles forward could complete a transfer to Galatasaray this summer.

Galatasaray is one of the biggest clubs in Turkey, and they are one of Trabzonspor’s biggest threats in the Super Lig.
