Murat Sancak, president of a Turkish football club, Adana Demirspor, has slammed Nigeria international Henry Onyekuru after associating with players of Galatasaray in the wake of his club’s defeat on Saturday.
Two late goals from Fredrik Midtsjø and Nicolo Zaniolo at NEF Stadyumu condemned Onyekuru and his teammates to their fifth defeat of the season in the Super Lig.
After the game, Onyekuru caught up with his former teammates where he had his best time playing football.
The winger had three different loan spells with Galatasaray, the first being in the 2018/19 season where he helped them to a league title and subsequently for the second half of the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons
During his three stints, Onyekuru made 71 appearances for the Turkish giants and was on target on 22 occasions while registering 12 assists.
The 25-year-old, who is currently on loan from Olympiacos at Adana Demirspor, on Saturday was caught on camera fraternizing with his former teammates at Galatasaray much to the disappointment of his current boss.
“I do not approve of Henry Onyekuru’s actions,” Sancak was quoted as saying by Transfer Merkezi on Twitter.
“He ate the brush anyway. If you play for Adana Demirspor, you cannot do these movements in front of the cameras after a game we lost.”
With six goals and two assists so far this season, the Onitsha-born forward has contributed eight goals in 22 appearances for the Blue Lightnings.
