Godwin Obaje’s proposed move to Spartak Moscow has failed after the striker reportedly failed a medical.
Obaje, who finished as top scorer in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) after netting 18 goals for Wikki Tourists last season, had claimed this week that he passed his trials with the Russian club.
However, it appears he will not be signing a deal with them.
“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 AfricanFootball.
“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.”
It is understood that Obaje might seek other opportunities abroad or even sign for another NPFL side ahead of the 2016/2017 season.
