Onazi joins Trabzonspor

Super Eagles vice captain, Eddy Ogenyi Onazi has signed a four-year-deal worth €5m with Turkish Super League side, Trabzonspor. The Nigerian international is a former Biancocelesti youth player, having broken into the first team squad in 2012.

The 23-year-old is reportedly surplus to requirements at Stadio Olimpico and he has finally made the switch after undergoing a medical at Liz Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey.

This was made known by the player himself who posted on his Instagram page a heartfelt thank you message to former club Lazio, while also wishing the club well in their future endeavors.

According to La Repubblica, an agreement over the transfer was reached between all parties weeks ago, but the instability and turmoil of recent events in Turkey delayed the deal from going through.

The Italian newspaper claimed that the Trabzonspor President, the player himself and his agent were at Formello Monday night to iron out the final details of the switch.
