Emenike is Nigeria
Emmanuel Emenike is officially the most expensive Nigerian
player in Europe courtesy of his new contract with his
Russian club, Spartak Moscow.
The prolific striker, whose goal scoring form lifted Spartak
to UEFA champions league play-off this season, was rewarded with a new contract
with a buoyant clause of $42m (about N9.2b).
The 25 years old newly signed contract made him the highest
paid player in the club history of Spartak team while the actual figure of
wages were not disclosed but his current buyout clause of $42m has also made
him the most expensive Nigerian player currently in Europe.
Emenike who scored 13 times for the Russian club said 'I am
pleased to stay in Moscow Spartak. I liked the environment the team, everything
is very nice, the fans are also excellent. The team coach, is a friend and a
brother to me, the team management is also very friendly. I am glad to land a
