Trabzonspor president Ahmet Agaoglu revealed that the club stopped Anthony Nwakaeme from moving to China at the beginning of the season by improving his salary.
The 31-year-old forward arrived in Trabzon in August 2018 and following his impressive start to life in the Turkish Super Lig ,where he scored 10 goals in his debut campaign, he attracted interest from China.
Last summer, Trabzonspor was said to be offered €6 miilion by an unnamed Chinese club for the player, however, Agaoglu has disclosed how they convinced the Nigerian to stay at the Senol Gunes Stadium.
