The 33-year-old Nigerian has been a free agent since he left Turkish champions Trabzonspor at the end of last season. 

Nwakaeme played a vital role as Trabzonspor lifted the Turkish Super Lig for the first time in over three decades. He netted 13 goals and assisted 10 others to inspire the club to a first league title in 38 years.

However, despite his impressive performances for the club, he left the club in a controversial circumstance following the expiration of his contract. 

Meanwhile, in a related development, Turkish champions Trabzonspor have rejected the return of Nwakaeme to the club. 

Nwakaeme and Trabzonspor parted company after a successful 2021/2022 campaign after both parties failed to reach an agreement on contract renewal. 

The versatile forward reportedly rejected Trabzonspor’s one-year contract worth 2.5 million with an option for another year.

But after leaving the club for free, Nwakaeme struggled to find a club that will meet his demands and decided to reach out to his former club to take him back but was rejected by the club president. 

“ Nwakaeme sent a message to Trabzonspor Club President Ahmet Ağaoğlu saying 'Take me back since', and Ağaoğlu replied that they took Trezeguet instead,” as per Takagazette.
