According to leaks gathered by <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>&rsquo;s editorial staff, Aalesunds turned down requests from at least three teams in Russia who had the intention of signing Leke James in the winter transfer market.<br /><br />In February, AaFK sold Leke James&rsquo;s strike partner Abderrazak Hamdallah to Chinese team Guangzhou R&amp;F to replace Super Eagles forward Yakubu Aiyegbeni who moved on to Al Rayyan.<br /><br />And the Norwegian Premier League side were not willing to part with Leke James in order not to reduce their attacking options this coming season which begins next weekend.<br /><br />Undisclosed bids from Tom Tomsk, Kuban Krasnodar and Krylia Sovetov Samara failed to tempt the leadership of Aalesund to do business with the interested suitors.<br /><br />21 - year - old Leke James has spent the last two years at the Color Line Stadium.<br /><br />Photo Credit : aafk.no<br />
