AEK Athens, Besiktas In Talks With Released Wolverhampton Wanderers Striker?

According to Tuttomercatoweb, two clubs Besiktas and AEK Athens are competing for the services of Nigeria U23 international Bright Enobakhare and have opened talks with his representatives.

The 22-year-old is available on a free transfer after mutually terminating his contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers last month.

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Greek Super League side AEK Athens are in the market for an inverted winger, a left winger with a right foot and Enobakhare is the kind of player who would fit the bill as he's right-footed and capable of playing on the wings, though he is predominantly a striker.

Besiktas are facing financial difficulties and might dip into the free agent market to save recruitment costs.

Enobakhare had a successful loan spell at Coventry City in the second half of the 2018-2019 campaign, scoring six goals in 18 matches and scooped the club's Young Player of the Year award.

He was loaned to Wigan Athletic at the beginning of the season but it was not as successful, leading to his recall by Wolves in January.

Benin City-born Enobakhare, who is also eligible to play for England, became provisionally cap-tied to Nigeria when he made his competitive debut for the U23 national team against Ivory in November 2019.
