Super Eagles invitee confirms Goztepe interest but proposed deal faces obstacle

Published: June 19, 2021

Super Eagles invitee for their last two international friendlies this month against Cameroon, Vincent Onovo has confirmed that it's true that Turkish Super Lig club Goztepe are interested in signing him this summer.

However, the proposed deal does not appear to be imminent as widely reported because Ujpest are not willing to part company with him straightaway, until they know their fate in the Europa Conference League.

The Hungarian Cup winners are due to face Vaduz in the second qualifying round of the Conference League on July 21 and should they progress to the next round of the competition, it will become more difficult for the player to be sold.

"Goztepe are interested but I have not decided yet, " Onovo told allnigeriasoccer.com on Saturday morning when asked to confirm the reports of an imminent switch to the Turkish side.

"Goztepe have spoken to my club, my club told them to wait till next month because of the Europa Conference League we are going to play and that the transfer window is still open till August.

"I have not asked about the length of contract that I was offered by Goztepe, I have not yet decided where to go, other clubs are interested".

Onovo had spells with Finnish clubs Inter Turku and HJK Helsinki before transferring to Ujpest in February 2018.
