Former Nigeria's Super Eagles goalkeeper and captain Vincent Enyeama could not convince French Ligue 1 side, Dijon to seal a deal after trials with the team, BSNSports.com.ng can report.

Enyeama, who has been out of action for almost two years after his contract expired with LOSC Lille was given an opportunity to have trial with Dijon and was in action against Vittel in a friendly match.

 Despite impressing officials and players, talks collapsed late on Tuesday following discussions regarding the structure of the deal.

The energetic goaltender took his time to express his gratitude to the club management, coaches, players and fans for the opportunity.

"I want to thank the people of Dijon for the warm and excellent reception and the opportunity they gave me to train with their first team.

"I have only good words and memories of you guys. I wish you all the best for the season. Go and show the championship what a great family you are. Good luck, he wrote.

Enyeama made 164 appearances for Lille, including the 2016 French League cup final where they were edged by giants Paris St-Germain 2-1.

His time at Lille also included 17 clean sheets from 35 league games in the 2013/14 season, that saw him emerge as the first goalkeeper to be named French Ligue 1 African Player of the Season.
