Etebo’s Deal Not Done Yet

Getafe manager, Jose Bordalas, has revealed that they are yet to conclude the deal of Super Eagles midfielder, Oghenekharo Etebo.

The Nigerian international enjoyed a fine debut season with Stoke City in the Championship last season, winning the club’s Player of the Year award, but he has found regular playing time difficult in Michael O’Neill’s team.

He has played 11 league games for the Potters who are struggling in the Championship in this campaign, with just a point adrift of the relegation zone.

Reacting to Etebo’s transfer after Saturday’s 3-0 loss against Real Madrid in La Liga, Getafe boss said that the deal is far from being completed.

“The arrival of Etebo is not 100% closed. There can always be last-minute setbacks, and that is why I prefer to be cautious,” Bordalas

Etebo has played in La Liga before – representing Las Palmas 14 times in the second half of the 2017/18 campaign, although he was unable to prevent their relegation at the time.
