Nigerian Striker Blessing Eleke To Quit Slovenia For Turkey

Blessing Eleke has hinted at a possible January move from his current club Olimpija Ljublijana of Slovenia. The former Flying Sports Academy forward said that his intermediaries, Makoz Group, are currently in talks with several clubs from Turkey and Germany for a possible January transfer. Eleke’s current contract with Olimpija Ljublijana runs till 2019.

 He said “When we played our last match before the Christmas break, representatives of clubs from Turkey and Germany came over to watch me play. Right now, they are holding talks with my agents. My agents have in turn asked me to take things calmly. At Olimpija, I’ve scored 15 goals and I believe it is the reason these clubs have shown interest in me.”

The Nigerian marksman scored 12 goals for his former club Gorica before a mid-season transfer to Olimija Ljublijana last term. Eleke was invited to the U-23 Eagles camp by Samson Siasia ahead of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games but was not released by his club for the Olympic Games and the forward finds this a still bitter pill to swallow.
