The agent of Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong says the defender will have his medicals with Turkish side Bursaspor after a fee was agreed for his transfer from Belgium side Gent.
Tonny Harris told George Akapyen of Supersports.com that a fee for the transfer of Ekong was agreed yesterday between Gent and Bursaspor and the defender will sign a three year deal with the Turkish outfit as first reported by this portal.
“Ekong will be leaving Gent. He will be going to Bursaspor in Turkey after a deal was agreed between the two clubs in the last few minutes,” Harris told supersport.com.
Troost-Ekong had a chat with the head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr‎ on the the possibility of moving to the Turkish outfit before his decision to join the team.
It was gathered that although Rohr would have preferred him to move to a more competitive league in Europe, the manager backed his move to Turkey as he wasn’t having regular run of games at Gent.
