Super Eagles star Henry Onyekuru, is set to become a free agent at the end of June, and three Turkish clubs are vying for his signature.
Kocaelispor, Besiktas, and Fenerbahce have all launched early moves to secure his services ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Kocaelispor may not carry the
same European pedigree as the other two suitors, but the club is quietly working to make a statement in the Turkish top flight.

Fenerbahce, one of Turkey’s biggest and most successful clubs, are also in the mix. The Yellow Canaries are no strangers to Nigerian talent and are believed to see Onyekuru as a player who can boost their wide attacking options. While competition for spots would be stiff, contending for major honors could sway the 28-year-old.
Onyekuru’s experience and skills have caught the attention of several Turkish clubs, making him a highly sought-after player in the transfer market.
With his contract set to expire, Onyekuru will have the opportunity to choose his next destination. The question remains: which club will be able to secure his services?
The competition for Onyekuru’s signature is heating up, and it will be interesting to see which club emerges victorious. Will it be Kocaelispor, Besiktas, or Fenerbahce? Only time will tell. One thing is certain, however: Onyekuru’s decision will have a significant impact on his career and the club he chooses to join.
