Greuther Furth eye free-agent move for German-Nigerian winger Emmanuel Iyoha

German-Nigerian right winger Emmanuel Iyoha, who most recently played for Fortuna Dusseldorf, is being linked with a move to 2. Bundesliga side Greuther Furth after becoming a free agent this month.

The 28-year-olds contract with Dusseldorf has expired and he is now listed without club, with Transfermarkt data suggesting a 43% probability of a switch to Furth following his departure from the 3. Liga side. His current market value is given as 800,000, a figure that is likely to appeal to clubs seeking low-risk attacking reinforcements.

Born in Dusseldorf on 11 October 1997, the 1.93m forward is primarily deployed as a right winger but is listed in the broader category of attack. Comfortable with both feet, he offers tactical flexibility across the front line and has represented both Germany and Nigeria at youth or eligibility level, carrying dual nationality.

Iyoha came through the Fortuna Dusseldorf system after joining from Bayer Leverkusens youth ranks in 2011, progressing from the U17s to the U19s before stepping into the senior squad in 2016. His professional career has been built almost entirely in Germany, with loan spells at VfL Osnabruck, Erzgebirge Aue and Holstein Kiel providing regular minutes in the 3. Liga and 2. Bundesliga.

His value peaked at 1.2m in 2024 during a consistent spell back at Dusseldorf, before easing down to 800,000 in June 2026 as his deal wound down. He left Fortuna for free on 1 July 2026 and is now weighing options as a free agent, making any deal for Furth a potential Bosman-style signing rather than a transfer-fee negotiation.

While specific recent match details are not provided in the available data, his sustained presence in Germanys professional tiers and long association with Fortuna underline the experience Greuther Furth would be acquiring if the move is completed, and a step back into the 2. Bundesliga could prove decisive in reasserting his value and status in the German game.
