Hot on the heels of the news of the transfer of the vice captain of the senior national team of Nigeria William Troost Ekong to Greek side PAOK, another Nigerian defender will details away from joining him, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

29 year old Ekong joined the Greek side on a three years deal from English Championship side Watford after returning form a loan spell from Italian Serie A side Salernitana.

He is about to be joined in the country by Chidozie Awaziem, who only returned to his parent team Boavista of Portugal after a loan spell with Croatian side Hajduk Split last season.

Awaziem had a fairly good season in Croatia which he crowned by helping the club win the Croatian Cup, so betting on Panathinaikos on the JackBit casino site or other similar platforms might be a pretty good idea now. He made 36 appearances for scoring five goals and providing one assist. However the Croatian side couldn’t agree a fee for his permanent transfer.

Panathinaikos have wasted no time in reaching an agreement for his signing with all terms already agreed bar his transfer fee. Boavista will demand for around €3m but with a further sale clause inserted in the deal.

26 year old Awaziem has two years to go on his deal at Boavista, the club he joined from Porto two years ago for a fee reported to be in the region of €5m.

German Bundesliga giants Borrusia Dortmund have included a bizarre Instagram clause in the contract of the new signing Felix Nmecha by saying he will be fined €1m if he violates the club’s values on social media.

Signed for €30m from fellow Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, the 22 year old previously sparked controversy with his social media activity, leading to a clause being included in his deal that will allow the German club to fine him if he is deemed to have posted something that goes against the club’s values, Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung reports.

Dortmund’s fans staged a protest against Nmecha’s signing but it has not deterred the club, who have posted a statement to go along with their signing announcement, insisting that they believe the deeply religious midfielder does not hold any homophobic or transphobic beliefs.

The new Dortmund signing shared alleged homophobic and transphobic posts on Instagram but he has insisted his messages were “taken out of context”. Explaining that as a good Christian he loves all people asking the fans to give him a chance.

He added that it has a lot to do with his strict religious upbringing, something that is very peculiar to several homes with Nigerian roots. Nmecha parents are of Nigerian descent although he plays for the German national team.

His arrival will likely coincide with the departure of his international teammate in Zaidu Sanusi, who was recently linked with a move to French Ligue 1 side Marseille.

However his potential departure will be delayed until after the Portuguese Super Cup game against Benfica as he is the only left back available for selection with the suspension of Wendell.

Wendell was sent off in the final of the Portuguese Cup last season hence his suspension for the game which is the curtain raiser in Portuguese football. It has made the team Sérgio Conceição to block the exit of the 26 year old Nigerian until at least after the game.

Even though they are hopeful of having Onyemaechi within their ranks before that game, Conceicao feels it is a huge risk to throw a new player into a game of such magnitude and importance.
