As many as six Nigerian players have moved from one club to another as the transfer window in Europe hots up for business this summer, Owngoalnigeria.com reports.
Brown Ideye has been offered a chance to relaunch his carrier at modest Greek side Aris Thessaloniki after ending a nightmarish one year at Chinese side Tianjin Teda where he was demoted to the reserves two seasons ago, loaned out to Malaga in January 2018 before his contract was terminated this summer.
The 30 year old has signed a short term deal to stay at the club for a year with the option of another year as he bid to bring his career back on track in the country where he turned out for Olympiacos before making the ill advised move to China.
Little known Nigerian right back Rueben Yem who as reported by this portal impressed coach Gernot Rohr of the Super Eagles in a Europa League qualifiers game for AS Trencin last season has joined Belgium side Gent on a five year deal.
In Germany the duo of Suleiman Abdullahi and Anthony Ujah will represent the interest of Nigeria at newly promoted Bundesliga side Union Berlin with Suleiman turning his highly successful loan deal at the club into a permanent deal.
Ujah joins from fellow German side Mainz 05 on same three year deal like Abdullahi and both will be hoping to get the goals that will help the club make a big impression on their return to the top flight in Germany.
German-Nigerian forward Noah Joel Sarenren-Bazee has also switch clubs leaving relegated Hannover 96 for Augsburg where he will pray for better luck than his injury ravaged time at Hannover that cost him the chance to make his debut for Nigeria.
Although he is yet to be called up to the senior national team of Nigeria, ex England youth international Seyi Ojo has declared his intention to switch allegiance to Nigeria and with his recent move to Scottish side Rangers on loan from Liverpool. A strong showing will no doubt fasten his chances with the senior national team of Nigeria.
Last season he was in and out of the first team at French Ligue 1 side Reims making just 15 appearances with the club finishing as high as 8th at the end of the season in France.
