The reason why one time Super Eagles invitee Anthony Dennis was not included in the matchday squad of Göztepe in their 3-3 draw against Samsunspor yesterday in the Turkish League has been revealed, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
22 year old Dennis was ever present last season for the team, making his omission from the matchday squad for yesterday’s game surprising to a lot of people.
We can exclusively reveal that the defensive midfielder, who saw a move to English Premier League side Coventry City broke down with discussions well advanced is expected to leave the club this summer.
Göztepe decided to leave him out not to jeopardise any potential deal for the €20m rated midfielder, who made the step up from their youth team to the first team last season.
Reports say German Bundesliga sides Mainz 05, Hoffenheim, Augsburg and Stuttgart are all looking at a move for him before the close of the ongoing summer transfer window.
