Eagles Midfielder Lawal Wanted By Eskisehirspor


Turkish side Eskisehirspor’s Nigerian midfielder Raheem Lawal is reportedly a target for Besiktas after impressing against them in a league game in February.


Lawal was key in helping his team secure a 1-0 win over the second place team and according to fotomac the Black Eagles are on the hunt for an alternative to Atiba Hutchinson whose contract expires  at the end of this season and they view the 24 year old as an able replacement.

The former Athletico Baleares, of Spain, midfielder has so far picked up two assists and two goals from the 20 games he has played this season but he is currently on a three match ban for a red card received against Rizespor.

He arrived Turkey from Spain and joined Adana Demirspor before his move to Eskişehirspor from where he joined Mersin Idmanyurdu in February for €1 million.

So far he has picked up six caps for Nigeria the last of which came in an ill fated Africa cup of Nations cup qualifiers which Nigeria drew 2-2 with South Africa and missed out on a chance to defend her trophy at the cup of Nations held in Equitorial Guinea last year.

Caretaker coach of the Super Eagles Daniel Amokachi snubbed him in his squad for Nigeria last two friendly game which Nigeria drew with South Africa after a 1-0 loss to Uganda.
