Turkish side Bursaspor have confirmed the elevation of two Nigerian players from their youth team to the first team after the duo penned professional contracts with the Turkish Super Lig side.
Yusuf Abdullahi Muhammad and Paschal Onyedika Okoli were both confirmed by the club on their official website as first team players after their fine performances for the junior team last season.
They will join Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong who moved to the club on a four year deal from Belgium side Gent last week in the first team of the ambitious Turkish side.
Okoli and Muhammad were among the four Nigerian players signed by the club in January as exclusively announced by this portal, the others are Jerry Adim Ikaye and Rasheed Bolaji Eyitayo.
In January Nigeria U-23 invitee Taiwo Abdulrahman also joined the club as exclusively announced by this portal but not much has been heard about him since then.
