Derick Ogbu Turns Down Chance To Play With Owoeri At Baoding Yingli Yitong

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Derick Chuka Ogbu has turned down an opportunity to return to the Chinese League.

League One side Baoding Yingli Yitong F.C had submitted a firm offer for his services, and the striker would have appended his signature to a two-year deal if he had accepted the proposal.

Baoding Yingli Yitong had already agreed a US$1 million transfer fee with Hungarian club Debreceni VSC, but Ogbu chose to remain in Europe for family reasons, before thinking of a return to China at the end of this season.

The 26-year-old spent one and a half seasons with Liaoning Whowin, scoring 24 goals (8 assists) from 70 games before transferring to Ventforet Kofu in 2016.

H would have joined last season’s top scorer in the Allsvenskan John Owoeri at Baoding Yingli Yitongif he had accepted the move.
