Nothing Like $1.5m Deal For Me In Saudi Arabia, Obafemi Martins Insists

Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins has denied a report linking him up with a Saudi Arabia football club on a deal worth $1.5 million

An online media platform had reported last month that Martins, former player of Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua, rejected the offer in Saudi on the ground that the oil-rich country does not have top night club.

“How on earth will I even reject an offer because of absence of night clubs in a place? Fortunately, there is no even a deal for me in Saudi Arabia that I will reject,” Martins explained to P.M. EXPRESS, adding “it is rather so unfortunate, the people behind this report supposed to make their finding right.”

The 34-year-old striker popular called ‘Obagoal’ last played a competitive game at Shenhua in April 1998 where he sustained a hamstring injury. This sidelined him for a lengthy period. He had since recovered in May this year.

“I am an open person and friendly to any journalist who wants to know anything about me. I think putting facts right and balancing stories are some of the hallmarks of a good journalists,” Martins said.
