Writing on Twitter, Ekong who scored for Bursaspor against Fenerbahce on the opening day of the league wrote, “I want to say a big thank you to everyone in Bursa and Bursaspor especially my teammates and staff for everything.
“I will always have great memories of my time in Turkey as a player but also as a man. However, the time has come for a new step in my career.
“I want to wish Bursaspor a great season and I will now follow the team as a fan. So of course lastly I want to say a special thank you to Texas and all the fans who supported me and the team. I will remain one of you now. Texasli Ekong”
Italian media claim Udinese is the destination though there has not been any official confirmation from the Serie A side – either on their website or social media platforms.
The 24-year-old played all three group games for Nigeria at Russia 2018 and moved to Turkey from Belgian club, KAA Gent in July 2017 for about $1.2 million. Ekong played 32 times for Bursaspor and scored three goals.
