Former Captain of the Nigeria U23 national team, Azubuike Okechukwu's six-month loan deal with Caycur Rizespor is to return back to the Super Eagles, BSNSports.com.ng reveals.

www.adantesports.com.ng learned that the central midfielder secured his loan deal from his club Pyramids FC of Egypt to join Caycur Rizespor on a six (6) months loan deal.

A very close confidant of the central midfielder Ededuan Daniel Abumere disclosed that Azubuike had to return to Europe in order to attract the attention of Super Eagles team selectors.

“Azubuike had to retrace his steps back to Europe in order to attract the attention of Gernot Rohr and his assistants since the major attention is on Nigerian players that are doing well in Europe.

“Azubuike has been doing very well with the Pyramids of Egypt but his chances of being recalled to the Eagles will be easier if he starts to shine for Rizespor”, Abumere disclosed on Wednesday.

“As at today (Wednesday) he did his medicals and may be ready for action if Rizespor deems it fit to parade him”, Abumere also added.

Rizespor are battling to stay up in the Turkish top league after they won promotion back to the Super Lig last season.

They are bottom of the league with 15 points from 18 matches.
