French top division side Lorient have extended the loan deal of 22 year old Nigerian winger Taofeek Ismaheel at Belgium side Beveren by another year after a fairly remarkable performance last time out, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Despite battling with injuries and fitness issues , the speedy winger made 23 appearances picking up four assists. He however convinced the Belgium second division side to hand him another loan spell, which was sanctioned by his parents owners.
His loan departure is coming hot on the heels of the permanent exit of Nigeria international Terem Moffi from the club on a permanent deal to fellow French side Nice. Moffi spent last year on loan but with an obligation to buy clause under certain conditions, which he met.
Despite the departure of the duo, the team still has two Nigerians on their books in young defender Isaac James and four caps senior international Innocent Bonke. Both players have already resumed pre season training with the club ahead of the start of next season.
