Sullivan confirms option to buy Emenike

David Sullivan believes loan signing Emmanuel Emenike will bring a new pace and power element to the Irons attack.

And he spurned suggestions there is no option to buy the player at the end of the season confirming ClaretandHugh’s reports declaring: “I am delighted to welcome Emmanuel Emenike to the club. We hope he will bring goals and we have an option to sign him at the end of the season.”

Speaking to the official site DS explained: “Our manager knows him from Turkey and Russia and says he is a very good player. He is very fast and you can never have enough goals or pace in any team.

“It took two weeks of tortuous negotiations and hard work by myself and our club secretary Andrew Pincher to get the player to the club. It was one of the most difficult deals we have ever done as we were dealing with two clubs not one.

“I would publicly like to thank Andrew, as he really is an unsung hero of the club, for all his hard work on this transfer, all the other transfers we have done in the last few years and the dozens we tried to do and failed with.”
