Ghana striker Caleb Ekuban to decide Trabzonspor future at the end of the season
20th March 2019
Ghana new boy Caleb Ekuban says he will wait until the end of the season before deciding his long-term future.
The 24-year-old forward is currently on loan at SuperLig side Trabzonspor from Leeds United.
The Italian-born Ghanaian has been an instant hit since joining the Turkish club, scoring seven goals and creating three more in 28 games.
A feat which has led to his debut Black Stars call-up for the final AFCON qualifier against Kenya on March 23.
“My goal until the end of the season is to play as much as I can,” Ekuban said. “At the end of the season I will look at the situation.”
Ekuban has a clause in his loan deal with Trabzonspor, according to Turkish outlet Miliyet, that will see him leave permanently for just £900,000 – if Trabzonspor are willing to pay that.
A bargain for a player that has had a hand in 10 goals and played out wide, in the 10 role and up front. But Leeds may be looking at his form – and indeed his Ghana call-up – and consider whether he was worth another go.
That perhaps could depend on whether Leeds gain promotion to the Premier League, or remain in the Championship.
