Racing Genk Pursues Nigerian Midfield Maestro Oghenekaro Etebo
In a bid to bolster their midfield prowess, Belgian club Racing Genk has expressed a keen interest in securing the services of the highly talented Nigerian midfielder, Oghenekaro Etebo, currently plying his trade with Portuguese outfit CD Feirense. The strategic move was reported by reputable sources, including Completesportsnigeria.com and the Belgian online news outlet m.hln.be.
Etebo, a standout player who initially made his mark with Nigeria Professional Football League club Warri Wolves in 2016, has seamlessly integrated into the fabric of CD Feirense, emerging as a linchpin in their midfield setup. The 22-year-old, a proud bearer of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games bronze medal, has not only showcased his defensive prowess but has also made significant contributions on the offensive front.
Despite attracting interest from Portuguese football giants FC Porto, Racing Genk, no stranger to Nigerian midfield talents having had Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi in their ranks previously, has reportedly tabled a compelling bid for Etebo. The prospective deal is poised to materialize before the closure of the winter transfer window, with both parties optimistic about reaching a mutually beneficial agreement.
Etebo’s remarkable performance this season with Feirense, featuring in 18 games and contributing four goals along with one assist, has further intensified the competition for his signature. As the winter transfer window unfolds, football enthusiasts eagerly await the outcome of this potential transfer saga, anticipating a dynamic addition to Racing Genk’s formidable lineup.
