Obafemi Martins Agent Rules Out Rizespor Move

Cyprus Federation licensed agent Tekin Birinci, one of the representatives of Obafemi Martins, has played down reports linking the Nigeria international with a switch to Rizespor in the winter transfer market.

There are reports that the 29 - year - old Seattle Sounders ace was in London to negotiate with Rizespor over a loan move.

But Birinci stated on Twitter that there is no iota of truth in the stories circulating online.

Also, British media led by the Daily Mail is reporting that Martins could make a return to the English Premier League, with West Ham reportedly ahead of other suitors in the race for his signature.

Obafemi Martins is expected to spend his Christmas vacation in Lagos, Nigeria.

He scored 8 goals in 21 appearances last season for Seattle Sounders.
