According to reporting by mercato365.com, experienced Nigeria international John Utaka could be on his way to the New El Dorado for Nigerian professional footballers, Turkey as he is being linked with a move to Super League outfit Bursaspor.

The 31 - year - old's contract was not renewed by Montpellier, and that means he is very attractive to suitors, being a free agent.

Bursaspor could be playing Champions League football this coming season after Fenerbahce and Besiktas were kicked out of Europe by the continent's governing body UEFA.

The Green - Whites have been busy in the transfer market lately, signing full back Taye Taiwo from AC Milan.

John Utaka scored 6 goals (7 assists) in 28 appearances last season in the French League.

Clubs in China and Qatar are also believed to be monitoring the transfer situation of the much - traveled attacker.
