Super Eagles defender Godfrey Oboabona, has spoken of his happiness at completing “a dream move” to Turkish club Caykur Rizespor, despite offers from England, Germany, Spain, etc.
The former Sunshine Stars skipper cost his new club 650,000 euros (US$870,000) and insisted that it was their ambition that pulled him.
“It’s a big decision and a dream move, too,” Oboabona told BBC Sport.
“It’s been a fantastic year for me, the next step is to achieve more success at club level
“I had offers from England, Germany, Spain and Ukraine, but Rizespor has an attractive project that will be good for my development.
“God has been good to me. My desire is to be a successful footballer and this club is a good place to start my European career.
“Some people suggested that I should go here and there, forgetting that to progress you need to be playing regularly and enjoy motivation.
“I believe in my own ability, this is a start point for me and a step to bigger and greater things in life.”
Oboabona has signed a four-year deal with Rizespor.
