Another fan, Ahmet Sakin also said, “Besiktas placed third last season because they didn’t sign properly. Go and spend money like crazy and fight for the title again.”
The Black and Whites finished third last season in the Süper Lig with 78 points, 10 points adrift of champions Galatasaray and have shown intent in bolstering their attacking options with the addition of the Nigerian forward. Okereke joined Cremonese from Club Brugge last summer on a three-year deal, and scored seven goals in the Serie A. In all competitions, the forward registered nine goals and two assists in 38 appearances.
Cremonese are resigned to letting some of their players go and could demand a sizeable fee for Okereke’s services due to their financial status, which is a consequence of getting relegated to the Serie B and the fact that he just joined the club. Okereke’s compatriot, Cyril Dessers, also departed the Italian club last week to join Scottish giants, Glasgow Rangers.All rights reserved.
