Galatasaray In Talks To Sign Ex-Manchester United Trialist Jesse Sekidika

Published: January 02, 2020

Allnigeriasoccer.com can confirm various reports in the Turkish press that Super Lig champions Galatasaray are working on a deal to sign former Manchester United trialist Jesse Sekidika.

The Eskisehirspor winger put himself in the shop window in the first half of the 2019-2020 season, scoring 8 goals in 16 appearances in the Turkish 1. Lig while producing two assists.

Galatasaray talent spotters have sent glowing reports back to manager Fatih Terim after scouting him several times this season.

The 23-year-old Sekidika was earmarked as one for the future during his time with Brooke House College in England and was heavily courted by Manchester United and Stoke City but the deals did not go through due to work permit issues.

He later joined A. D. Oeiras in Portugal before transferring to Benfica, from where he moved to Serbian club Napredak Kruševac.

Galatasaray have also been linked with a move for another Nigerian winger, Henry Onyekuru.
