Rizespor if they pull this off will have four Nigerians on their Roster:
Aminu Umar, Awaziem, Okechukwu and Ujah.
This will probably be the second highest number of Nigerians in one team. I know Trencin in Slovakia in 2016/17 season had five previously Sam Kalu, Kinglsey Madu, Rabiu Ibrahim, Aliko Bala and Christopher Udeh.
