Former Dolphins of Port Harcourt goal poacher, Emem Eduok has found himself in trouble waters over his transfer by two foreign clubs.
Esperance of Tunisia and Sarpsborg of Norway are laying claims to the talented forward and have vowed to drag themselves to FIFA.
Sarpsborg 08 Sporting Director, Thomas Berntsen, said the club signed Emem Eduok from A&B Academy on a four year deal and not from Dolphins FC.
However, reports in the Tunisian media has it that Esperance last week signed Eduok on a three-year deal from the Porthacourt based Glo NPFL side but Sarpsborg insists the player’s transfer rights belongs to A&B Academy.
Eduok has been on the payroll of Glo Nigeria Premier league side Dolphins for three seasons but according to Bernsten, Dolphins do not own him rather the academy which they bought him from.
“Eduok confirmed to us in oral and written that he belongs to A&B Academy, we did our own investigations and we found out it’s true” he told the media in Norway, according to SA.no.
“It was after our investigation that we signed him on a four-year deal which we expect him to honour, it will terminate in 2018.”
He said Eduok was in Sarpsborg in mid December and he signed on the dotted line for a four-year contract on December 11 and they expect him to resume with the side by January 18 after the Super Eagles Friendly games.
In reaction to claims that Tunisian side Esperance might have signed the Nigerian forward on a three-year deal, Bernstern said the club is willing to defend it’s case before FIFA if the need arises.
“We have signed a four-year contract with the player himself after reaching an agreement with the club that owns him, if he still fails to show up to respect the deal then it becomes a FIFA case.”
