Done Deal : Former Flying Eagles Midfielder Obinna Nwobodo Joins Goztepe

Published: September 17, 2020

Through a statement on their official website, Turkish Super Lig side Goztepe SK have announced the capture of former Nigeria U20 international Obinna Nwobodo, 23.

The midfielder has inked a three-year deal, keeping him at Goztepe until the end of the 2022-23 season.

Nwobodo is the second Nigerian player acquired by Goztepe in the summer transfer window, after 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winning striker Brown Ideye.

A product of Enugu Rangers, he joined újpest FC in the summer of 2017 and departs the Hungarian club after 114 appearances, scoring 15 goals and providing 22 assists.

He was a key member of the Flying Eagles squad at the 2015 U20 AFCON but was not in the traveling party to New Zealand for the World Cup after suffering a cruciate ligament injury.

Goztepe started the season in brilliant fashion, thrashing Denizlispor 5 - 1 on matchday one with Ideye bagging an assist on his full debut.

They travel to Yeni Malatyaspor on Friday, September 18.
