Greek Super League champions, Olympiakos are on the verge of announcing the signing of former Nigeria international Emmanuel Emenike in a deal reported to be worth €2m.
This will end speculation surrounding the future of the Fenerbahce striker, with earlier reports linking him with a possible return to the Russian Premier League as well as Israeli, Czech Republic and Ukrainian teams.
”Fenerbahce have confirmed to me that Emenike will travel to Greece today, Monday. He is expected in Athens today for the medical. The transfer fee is between 2 and 2.5 million euros,” an Olympiakos insider said.
Emenike, who endured a sordid time at Fenerbahce under coach Dirk Advocaat last season as he was confined to the bench by the Dutchman, is seen as the best option for the Olympiakos after Diumerci Mbokani failed medicals last week.
Emenike, 30, previously wore the jerseys of MP Black Aces, Cape Town, Karabükspor and Spartak Moscow, and spent a portion of the 2015-16 season on loan at Premier League club West Ham.
Nigeria’s all time highest goal scorer, Rashidi Yekini, ex-Flying Eagles star Michael Olaitan and Brown Ideye have represented Olympiakos in the past.
