Former Super Eagles forward Emmanuel Emenike is in talks with Belgian outfit , KVC Westerlo over a possible transfer to the club, reports Completesports.com.
Emenike started training with Westerlo on Tuesday morning and will look to impress the club as well as landing a contract.

He has struggled with injury ever since then and didn’t feature for any club during the 2018/2019 season.
Emenike previously had stints With Karabukspor and Fenerbahce in the Turkish SupeAmosu
, as well as a Premier League side, West Ham United.
The powerful striker was part of Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations winning squad in South Africa in 2013.

Dump your national team, watch your career tumble down. That’s all I see when the stories of the likes of Emmenike, Enyeama and co comes to mind.
I hope he nicks a deal soon. At 32 and without a whole season of football, its definitely not gonna be funny…!
Even those who do not dump the National team also find it hard getting clubs at that age bearing in mind that our players add to their stated age..This, therefore, makes it hard for them to get offers cos most clubs are in the know
Dr drey, please don’t include Enyeama, in that list. Over 100caps for the National team cannot be said to have dumped the Nation. He had already giving his best to the Nation and decided to call it up. He is not in the same category with Emenike or Moses. Even Mikel was not as committed as him in his early days.
Whatever downward trend in his career is expected and normal for every top player.
We should try to respect and celebrate our legends regardless of how they left the scene. He is still the longest capped Super Eagle player till date.
Peter Ruffai stayed beyond his prime and Nigerians regretted it. He did dump the National team but simply step aside after a very illustrious career.
Correction: He did not dump the National team
@ Ikeben, the point @drey was making, is, those guys were still playing at top level when they called it quit with d SE. That always leads to a downtrend. You only retire when you start experiencing a downtrend n not when you’re still in top level.
U don talk am finish.
No mind yeye clandestines.
Hahaha u guy a point there Dr drey
Let’s see how it goes with him in Waterloo… Good luck guy
