Trabzonspor have pulled out all the stops to welcome back their towering Nigerian forward, with the club deploying a private jet to fly the striker and his family into Turkey this week, Footynaija.com reports.

Following a stellar 2023–24 season that saw him score 17 goals in just 25 appearances, the player returns to Trabzon to widespread excitement among supporters. His commanding presence and clinical finishing made him a firm fan favourite during his previous stint.

Local outlet Gunebakış reports that the striker will first travel to the Netherlands before boarding the club-arranged private flight to Trabzon on Wednesday evening. He won’t be alone this time — his wife, daughter, and newly born son will accompany him, adding a heartwarming family note to the grand return.



When he first arrived at the club, scenes at the airport were electric, with hundreds of fans turning out to greet him. With an expanded family and an even bigger reputation, expectations are even higher this time around.

Trabzonspor have also teased the striker’s comeback with exclusive NFC-enabled digital content on their new kits, showing just how central he is to their plans for the new season.

The Turkish giants are banking on his firepower to spearhead their charge in both domestic and European competitions. His return is seen as a marquee moment in the club’s summer rebuild — a statement of intent, and a nod to the bond that still exists between player and club.
