    Eneramo may return to Karabukspor

    Reports in Turkey suggest Turkish Super League side Karabukspor will welcome back Nigeria striker Michael Eneramo when the transfer window opens in January.

    Eneramo played on loan for Karabukspor last season when he scored four goals in 16 games. The former Esperance of Tunisia striker has not been having a great at his club Istanbul Basaksehir where he has played three games, all as a substitute.

     If the deal finally sailed through, he will team up with another Nigeria striker, Joseph Akpala. Karabukspor are 17th on the league table with eight points from 10 games.

    He has also played for Besiktas and Sivasspor.

    Eneramo fires blank on Basakisehir debut

    Michael Eneramo debuted for his new Turkish club Istanbul Basakisehir on Saturday, but did not score in a barren draw with his former team Karabukspor.

    The former Esperance of Tunisia captain was thrown into the fray in the 61st minute for French forward Jeremy Perbet.

    The powerful Nigeria striker has been a big hit since he moved to Turkey,where he has played for Sivasspor, Besiktas and Karabukspor.

    He scored a goal in four games for Besiktas and four goals for Karabukspor in 16 games last season.

    The 28-year-old striker won the Tunisian league title in the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons with Esperance.

    Beskitas attacker Michael Eneramo has been told his future is far away from the club, thus, he must find a new employer before the window is shut.

    Turkish sports daily Fanatik writes on its website that the 28 – year – old is in talks with Rizespor, who pay the wages of fellow Nigeria internationals Godfrey Oboabona and Uche Kalu.

    This summer, the former Esperance sensation has been courted by Karabukspor, whom he played for during  the second half of last season.

    Besiktas are aware that they will not be able to cash in on a future deal if he is not allowed to leave in this window, as he comes off contract next June.

  • Eneramo’s Karabukspor move threatened

    Eneramo’s Karabukspor move threatened

    Nigerian striker Michael Eneramo might see his dreams of representing Karabukspor next season go up in flames.

    The reason being that the Dispute Resolution Committee of the Turkish Football Federation has banned the club from participating in the next two transfer windows. Karabukspor did not follow due process in the signing of German – Turkish midfielder Selim Teber in the 2012 – 2013 season.

    It had earlier been revealed that the leadership of the Blue Flame were preparing to launch a bid for Michael Eneramo, who was temporarily acquired from Besiktas until the end of this campaign.

    Should Karabukspor lose their appeal contesting the decision of the TFF, Michael Eneramo will first have to return to Besiktas and consider other options ahead of next season. The Super Eagles forward has notched up four goals (two assists ) in 12 Super Lig games.

    “Antalyaspor, Eskeshirspor, Elazigspor all wanted me, even Sivasspor want me back, but I am here at Karabukspor for good.”

    Eneramo will be a direct replacement for compatriot Joseph Akpala, who has suffered another injury.

    Eneramo in winning start with Besiktas

    Life at Besiktas started on a fine note for Super Eagles striker, Michael Eneramo as his new team breezed to a 2-0 win in the season opener against Trabzonspor on Sunday August 18 2013.

    Eneramo was not only handed a starting shirt, he was in action from start to finish and would have only wished to cap the night’s performance perhaps with a goal to his name.

    While maximum points are in the kitty for Besiktas, it must be said that it wasn’t a stroll in the park as they had to wait till the 75th minute before they could break the deadlock and the goal scorer was Olcay ªahan.

    Beskitas knew they needed at least one more goal to be sure of victory and that they did quickly enough as substitute Gokhan Töre sealed victory with his 82nd minute strike.

    The presence of former Chelsea star Florent Malouda in the Trabzonspor line-up counted for little as the visitors returned home empty-handed.

    “There’s nothing to worry about my fitness. I will be completely ready for action in a week or two, and will contribute to the team’s success. I played two seasons at Sivasspor, I will fit in into any pattern either using double or a lone striker, I have no problems,” he assured.

    He again restated his quest to surpass the exploits of Daniel Amokachi at the Istanbul club.

    “Amokachi was a great player for Besiktas. I have been told a lot about his achievement here, I will do my best to make this team great and also make name for myself, I am ready to do more for Besiktas,” Eneramo said.
