Out of Favour Nigeria Striker Obafemi Martins secures a move to Levante Spain

You have all asked where he is, well he is here now. Nigeria striker Obafemi Martins is close to joining Spanish side Levante from Rubin Kazan. The nomadic striker's contract with Rubin will expire next year but both parties are now negotiating a mutual termination. According top Spanish sports dailies, Marca and Abola a deal has finally been struck.

Martins’ contract with Rubin will be terminated and he will sign on at the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia on a two-year deal worth about N385m with an option for a third. He will thus receive between 600,000 and 750,000 Euros (about N154m) a season – making him the highest paid player in Juan Ignacio Martinez’s squad – and a 5m Euros (about N1bn) buy-out clause will be written into his contract.

Goodluck Martins ...
