Bobby Adekanye: Apollon Limassol eye move for Netherlands‑Nigeria winger from Manisa FK

Netherlands‑Nigeria right winger Bobby Adekanye of Manisa FK is being linked with a summer move to Cypriot side Apollon Limassol, according to transfer data logged on 22 June 2026.

The 27-year-old, born in Ibadan on 14 February 1999, is valued at €550,000 on Transfermarkt, with Apollon reportedly exploring a deal as they look to refresh their attacking options for the new Cyprus League campaign. The rumour currently carries an unspecified probability rating (“?”), underlining that talks, if any, remain at an early stage.

Adekanye, who stands at 1.75m and plays primarily as an attacking right winger, is a left-footer and holds both Dutch and Nigerian nationality. He wears the number 11 shirt at Manisa FK, who compete in Turkey’s 1. Lig. His contractual situation is unclear, with no public end date listed for his deal in Turkey, leaving open the possibility that he could move on as a free agent if his contract has already expired or is allowed to run down.

Recent data shows Apollon’s interest emerging after a campaign in which Adekanye continued to operate in wide attacking roles, though full seasonal statistics are not detailed in the available information. His market valuation of €550k would make him a relatively low‑risk addition for a club seeking pace and 1v1 ability out wide.

While there is no indication yet of a formal bid or agreement between Manisa FK and Apollon Limassol, the Cypriot side are understood to be tracking players in Adekanye’s profile bracket as they reshape their forward line.

If the move materialises, a switch from Turkey’s second tier to a club regularly competing at the top end of the Cyprus League could offer Adekanye a fresh platform to rebuild momentum and potentially re‑ignite his reputation on the European stage.
