Emmanuel Emenike’s move from Spartak Moscow to Fenerbahce marks a significant development in his football career. This can be seen as a return to Turkey for Emenike, who had a previous stint with Fenerbahce in mid-2011, though it was not without complications.
During his initial time at Fenerbahce, Emenike’s tenure was marred by a match-fixing affair, leading to his departure from the club. However, he will now have the opportunity for a fresh start with Fenerbahce after being exonerated from any wrongdoing.
Emenike’s recent performances have been noteworthy, especially after recovering from an injury sustained during the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN). Despite missing the Confederations Cup with the Super Eagles, he has showcased his goal-scoring prowess at the beginning of the Russian championship with Spartak Moscow.
The Nigerian striker is set to sign a 4-year deal with Fenerbahce, with the transfer valued at around 13 million euros. Fenerbahce’s qualification for the Champions League play-offs adds another layer of excitement to Emenike’s move. It’s worth noting that Liverpool was also reportedly interested in securing the services of the prolific Nigerian goal-scorer.
This transfer represents a new chapter for Emmanuel Emenike, and fans will be eager to see how he contributes to Fenerbahce’s success in the coming seasons.
