“Welcome to Fişekspor, Kehinde! As part of our squad planning for the new season, Nigerian footballer Kehinde Ozein Hamzat has joined Fişekspor,” the club said.
The Turkish club said it believed Kehinde’s “talent, energy and fighting spirit” would contribute to the team.
“Welcome to the family, Kehinde! Together, towards new goals. Together, stronger!” the club added.
