The Enyimba captain says he will leave the People's Elephants if he gets a better offer as he wants to play at the 'next level'Enyimba captain Chinedu Udoji has maintained he will leave the club if an acceptable offer is made for him, even as they prepare to defend their league title.
The 26-year-old is entering his seventh year with the Nigerian champions and he had stated at the end of last season that he would leave the People’s Elephants if a better offer came along and ahead of the new season, he says nothing has changed.
“I have paid my dues in the Nigerian league, even though I have not stayed as long as some other players but if I get a better offer I will leave,” Udoji told Goal.
“If I get an offer where I can make more money and make myself happy while also winning trophies, I will definitely leave.
“I am waiting on God’s time but as soon as I get that offer, I will take a look at it with my family and if it is good for us, I will move.”
His position may not be entirely surprising to the Enyimba faithful; it will remain a shock nonetheless that their inspirational captain would fancy a move away, but the defender says he wants to take his career to the 'next level'.
“It is not like I just want to leave Enyimba, I just want to take my career to the next level, and if that offer comes, I will have to move,” he said further.
He is however, still with the club in Uyo, where they have been playing in the Super 4 pre-season tournament ahead of their commitments in the Nigeria Professional Football League and Caf Champions League.
