More information has emerged on the chain of issues that saw Stephen Odey move on loan from Racing Genk of Belgium to Amiens SC of France, as sources close to the deal say he was signed to replace another player in the French Ligue 2 club, megasportsarena.com gathered.
The player Odey has replaced at Amiens has been identified as Ulrick Eneme Ella, who plays as a striker or winger, with the Nigerian ex-under-23 star and former Mountain of Fire & Miracles Ministry (MFM) FC of Lagos revelation now expected to justify all hype that preceded his arrival on a season-long loan at the French second division outfit.
French newspaper, L’Equipe reported that Odey is a direct replacement for Ella, who is on his way to England, and Amiens will now put their trust in their new arrival, whose new contract has an option for them to buy the youngster, who failed to establish himself at Genk since his transfer from FC Zurich of Switzerland in a deal worth 3.5m Euro last summer.
It promises to accord a new lease of life for Odey, who could not make Genk’s matchday squad for their first four matches of the new season in the Belgian Jupiler League, after which he had earlier been linked with Guingamp of France and Ankaragucu of Turkey.
