Super Eagles Star Ogu On Trial At Denizlispor, To Be Coverted To Center Back If Signed
Published: January 18, 2021Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Turkish Super Lig strugglers Denizlispor have taken Nigeria international John Ogu on trial with a view to a transfer in the January transfer window.
The 2019 Africa Cup of Nations bronze medalist has been on the lookout for a new employer since parting company with Saudi Arabian club Al-Adalah, for whom he made seven appearances.
With his side having one of the worst defensive records in the Super Lig, manager Yalcin Kosukavak is in the market for a left-footed central defender and has started running the rule over Ogu.
Kosukavak is planning to fully convert the Super Eagles star to a center back should he impress at the end of tests.
Although Ogu is predominantly a central midfielder, he is not new to the center back position as he was asked to play that role by Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr in the build-up to the World Cup in Russia.
A short-term deal until the end of the 2020-2021 season is on the cards if the former Hapoel Beer Sheva man catches the eye.
On his curriculum vitae, the 32-year-old lists Drava Ptuj, Almeria, União de Leiria and Académica among his previous clubs.
