After a mini transfer tussle, Azubuike who captains Nigeria’s Under 23 side chose Başakşehir ahead of other prominent Turkish sides Besiktas and Galatasaray.

He says the lure of playing in Europe’s elite competition was crucial in his decision to join the capital club.

“It’s a dream come true for me to join a Champions League side. I am excited for this because it is a big step forward in my career,” added the former Bayelsa United star.

At Başakşehir who finished second in the Super League last term, Azubuike will reunite with his coach last season at Rizespor, Okan Buruk. The former Turkish midfielder was contracted to coach the club at the end of last season.
