Trabzonspor are determined to keep Chibuike Nwaiwu despite growing interest from Premier League side Fulham ahead of the new season.

The Turkish Super Lig club signed the Nigeria international from Austrian outfit Wolfsberger AC for €5.5 million in January, and the centre-back quickly became an integral part of the team, helping the Black Sea Storm lift the Turkish Cup.

Fulham are reportedly monitoring the 21-year-old closely and are prepared to offer around €20 million to secure his signature. 

However, according to Takagazete, Trabzonspor have no intention of selling the former Enyimba defender this summer. 

The club would only entertain bids that break their transfer record, underlining their desire to retain one of their standout performers as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
