Nigeria international left back, Elderson Echiejile, has denied that he has joined Turkish Super League side Besiktas.
“It’s not true that I have signed for Besiktas. There was no agreement between Braga and Besiktas. I am still a player of Braga,” MTNFootball.com quoted the defender, whose contract at Braga expires in June 2014, as saying on his official website – www.elderson3.com
Echiejile also denied the transfer on his twitter handle @eldersonech, insisting he is focused on Saturday’s World Cup qualifier against Malawi in Calabar.
“Please disregard any report that I have signed for besiktas. I’m still a player of sporting braga,” he tweeted.
“Everything abt a transfer is behind me as I’m focused on Saturday’s match vs Malawi.”
Interestingly, Besiktas on Thursday unveiled Corinthians of Brazil left back Ramon Motta on a season-long loan deal.
