Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Turkish club Trabzonspor, Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade, Belgian team Waasland-Beveren and Dukla Prague of the Czech Republic have opened talks with Akinyemi's bonafide representative over a transfer, apart from several Ligue 1 teams that watched him score against Bordeaux.

The Scandinavian clubs in the market to sign the 20-goal striker are : IK Start (Norway), Helsingborgs IF (Sweden) and Brondby (Denmark).

Maccabi Netanya have been fighting tooth and nail to sign Akinyemi, who is valued in the region of 1.5 million euros by FK Ventspils.
