In an exclusive interview with Completesportsnigeria.com, an exuberant Eleke expressed his enthusiasm about this new chapter in his career.

The stage is set for Eleke’s eagerly anticipated debut, which could unfold as early as Monday when FC Ashdod hosts Beitar Jerusalem in a league encounter. The Nigerian striker’s dynamic skills and impressive scoring record position him as a key asset in FC Ashdod’s quest for success in the Israeli Premier League. Football enthusiasts eagerly await the electrifying performances Eleke is expected to deliver on the Israeli football stage.
