Nigeria defender, Chidozie Awaziem has joined Turkish Super Lig outfit, Caykur Rizespor on a six month loan deal from Portuguese side, FC Porto, Promptnewsonline.com reports
Awaziem, 22, linked up with another Nigerian Aminu Umar at the modest club.
The centre-back was earlier linked with a move to another Portuguese side, Maritimo and Turkish club, Trabzonspor.
He played for FC Nantes on loan in 2017/18 season where he played 22 games and scoreed one goal.
Back in Porto earlier this season, Awaziem failed to break into the starting line-up of the current Portuguese champions during the first half of the campaign, making the team’s matchday squad five times in 21 league games.
The arrival of Portuguese international Pepe, however, fast-tracked his temporary exit from the club.
Awaziem has made four international appearances for the Super Eagles scoring one goal.
He could make his debut for Caykur Rizespor Sunday when they travel away to face Akhisar Belediyespor on Sunday.
Caykur Rizespor currently occupy the bottom spot in the Turkish Super League topflight division with 15 points from 18 games.
