Super Eagles midfielder Mikel Agu has joined Turkish topflight side
Bursaspor on a season long loan from Portuguese Primeria Liga side FC
Porto.
The 24 year old was given his first cap for the Eagles earlier this
year in the 3-0 victory over Togo.
He was invited for the first time by Gernot Rohr to the team following
his performances with Vitória Setúbal where he made 34 appearances
last season.
Speaking of his move to Turkey, which would be his third loan spell in
as many seasons since he joined Porto in 2014, he told the club's
website.
"I'm delighted to join Bursaspor, I came here for business and I can't
wait to show everyone what I can do,"
"I spoke with some players who had previously played here in Porto and
received positive feedback. I also found out during my own research
that this is a great club,"
He becomes the second Nigerian on the books of Bursaspor for the
2017/2018 season as he joins defender William Troost-Ekong.
The Super Eagles would continue their race to qualify for next year's
World Cup when the qualifiers resume in September with a double header
against Cameroon.
