Nigeria striker Anthony Nwakaeme is set to embrace a new role at Trabzonspor as the club works to optimize their foreign player quota.

The club has offered Nwakaeme a position on their scouting committee, and he responded assertively, saying, “I will do anything that benefits Trabzonspor.”

Despite interest from a club in the United Arab Emirates, the Nigerian star is resolute: “I want to retire from football as Nwakaeme of Trabzonspor; I am not considering leaving.” The 36-year-old is gearing up to start his new role after the transfer window closes, having made five appearances for Trabzonspor this season after recovering from a long-term injury.
