Egwuekwe Rejects Move to Israeli Club, Returns to Nigeria

Super Eagles defender, Azubuike Egwuekwe has announced that his proposed move to Israeli club, Hapoel Tel Aviv has hit the rocks. The lanky defender had been reported to have signed a deal with the club after the club announced the capture of his signature on its official website. However, the Warri Wolves captain rejected the move because of a meagre wage package offered by the club, according to AfricanFootball.com Although Egwuekwe refused to reveal the figures in the contract, rumours circulating suggest he was offered $5,000 a month deal by Hapoel Tel Aviv. Egwuekwe has since returned to his club side, Warri Wolves in Nigeria but refused to rule out a move to Europe in the near future. “I didn’t sign for Hapoel Tel Aviv, I rejected the offer because the money they wanted to pay me was small. I am back in Nigeria,” Egwuekwe said. “I am back now and can’t say yet if I will play for Wolves now till summer or not.”   About the Writer: Arinze Ude (@arturozinga) is an aspiring cancer research scientist with a master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences (Haematology).
