According to Sportime, Bright Enobakhare has agreed a three-year contract with AEK Athens following his release from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Nigeria U23 international is currently without a club following his Wolves release.

Enobakhare spent five years at Molineux after joining Wolves following a successful trial. However, he made just 49 appearances for the club, scoring three goals.

The 22-year-old midfielder spent the bulk of his time on loan at Kilmarnock, Coventry City and Wigan Athletic, making two Championship appearances for the latter.

Enobakhare was always likely to leave Wolves at the end of his contract. But the Covid-19 suspension accelerated the process with the player leaving last month.

Sportime claim the midfielder is a personal choice of AEK manager Massimo Carrera.

The Greek publication add that Enobakhare has agreed a three-year deal. He will arrive in Athens tomorrow to undergo a medial exam ahead of official confirmation.

For the player, it will be a big step leaving England for Greece.

He may have found games hard to come by at Wolves following their promotion to the Premier League, but a natural step would be to the Championship or League One and re-build.

AEK represents a surprise switch. However, the Athens-based club could offer Europa League football next term after finishing third in the regular season.
