Adana Demirspor Triggers Option to Buy Super Eagles Winger Henry Onyekuru
The Turkish Super Lig side, Adana Demirspor, has exercised their option to buy Nigerian international winger Henry Onyekuru from Greek giants Olympiakos. Onyekuru had spent the previous season on loan with Adana Demirspor, impressing with his performances on the pitch.
During his loan spell, Onyekuru featured in twenty-eight league games for Adana Demirspor, contributing eight goals and two assists. His contributions played a crucial role in helping the club secure a fourth-place finish in the league, which means they will be participating in the Europa Conference League qualifications next season.
Adana Demirspor decided to exercise the buy option included in Onyekuru’s loan contract, resulting in a transfer fee of 3.5 million Euros. The winger has now signed a three-year deal with the Turkish club, marking the latest move in his career that has seen him switch clubs frequently in recent years.
Onyekuru has had stints with Everton, Anderlecht, Galatasaray, Monaco, Olympiakos, and now Adana Demirspor within the past six years. After a disappointing season with Olympiakos, where he managed just one goal in twenty-seven appearances, Onyekuru is eager to make an impact in the Turkish Super Lig and the Europa Conference League.
The Super Eagles winger will be attending Mavi Imekler’s camp in Düzce Topuk Plateau in Turkey, preparing for the upcoming season with Adana Demirspor. With his impressive performances last season, Onyekuru hopes to make a significant impact and help his team compete against the top clubs in Turkey.
The permanent transfer signifies a fresh start for Onyekuru, who has struggled to settle at previous clubs. Adana Demirspor’s faith in the Nigerian winger is evident, as they were convinced by his stellar displays to secure his services on a long-term basis.
As Onyekuru embarks on this new chapter in his career, both he and Adana Demirspor will be aiming to achieve success in the Turkish Super Lig and make a statement in the Europa Conference League. Fans eagerly await the winger’s performances and hope that he can continue to shine on the pitch for his new club.
