Another Super Eagles star, Chinedu Obasi, demoted to reserves in ChinaBy admin - July 14, 201742 0
http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2017/07/14/another-super-eagles-star-chinedu-obasi-demoted-to-reserves-in-china/China is proving not to be such a great hunting ground for Nigeria stars after Chinedu Obasi became the second Super Eagles star after Brown Ideye to be demoted to his team’s reserves.
On the last day of the transfer window in China,
Ideye has been sensationally dumped by Super League team Tianjin Teda to the second team till the end of the season in November. And Chinese second division team Shenzhen FC have now done same for Obasi, who has struggled for form while nursing injuries.
The former Hoffenheim and Schalke 04 star, who also has German nationality, got off to a flying star with a brace on his official debut but he has since fallen out of favour particularly following the departure of Sven-Goran Eriksson, who signed him.
He signed a year’s deal as a free agent but it appears Shenzhen will not take up the option of an additional year when his contract runs out in November.
