Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side Nasarawa United say they are in the dark over the transfer of defender Tebo Franklin to Swedish side BK Hacken.
The Swedish side announced the signing of the defender on an initial loan deal with the option of handing him a four year deal base on the success of his stay on loan.
BK Hacken in a statement revealed they have been tracking the defender for a while as a matter of fact since spotting him at the famous Tiki Taka tournament two years ago.
In their statement, Nasarawa United wasn’t mentioned as the team where he was signed from leading OwnGoalNigeria.com to ask questions over the move.
“ He lied to us because he told us he was going to the embassy to submit his passport for a visa as he aimed to travel after our last assignment which was the Aiteo Cup final that we lost. We were shocked to read that he has signed for a team in Sweden and even started training”, a club official told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
However a source close to the player revealed they were outsmarted by the player’s representatives who have kept the player on loan at the club for two seasons.
“ Nasarawa United didn’t act like a top club. Tebo was on loan for two seasons at the club, that is enough time to make the deal permanent but they didn’t and his representatives took advantage of it to move him without their knowledge”, he said.
“ I can tell you that his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) won’t be Issues by Nasarawa United because his loan deals has expired. They don’t even have a percentage of his transfer fee if he eventually leave on a permanent deal”.
