Qatari outfit El Jaish have denied that they are in negotiations to sign Emmanuel Emenike from Turkish giants Fenerbahce.
The Turkish media reported during the week that former Ivory Coast manager Sabri Lamouchi, who is the current coach of Doha side El Jaish, had asked the owners of the Qatar Crown Prince Cup champions to sign the former Nigeria striker.
Emenike’s career has been on a downward trajectory ever since he returned to Turkey to don the colours of Istanbul giants Fenerbahce after spending a season at Russian Premier League outfit Spartak Moscow.
After scoring just four goals in 22 appearances, the Yellow Canaries sent him on a season-long loan to Abu Dhabi club Al Ain at the beginning of last season.
But the United Arab Emirates powerhouse ended the South Africa 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner’s loan deal following poor run of form – and sent him back to his parent club in Turkey.
The 29-year-old scored nine goals in 15 games, an effort the Arab Gulf League runners-up considered not good enough for a player of his calibre.
