Obaje netted 18 goals in the 2015/2016 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season helping Wikki to a third place finish.

He had a successful two-week trial with the club and a deal was offered to him.

The move, however, collapsed after the striker reportedly failed his medicals.

“Obaje did enough in the trials to get a contract, but Spartak did not give him one because his medical revealed some issues,” a source told .

“The Russians are very thorough about their medical and so passed off the chance to sign the player.

“That was really why he is back in Nigeria without a contract.”

Obaje will now assess other options available to him.
