Trabzonspor are making a move for former Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo.

The Nigerian transfer expert is currently a free agent after departing AS Monaco last season.

Fanatik says Trabzonspor are set to make an approach for Emenalo - on recommendation of coach Eddie Newton.

Newton worked with Emenalo at Chelsea, indeed it was the latter who helped bring the former midfielder through as a coach inside the club's academy.

Newton now hopes to work again with Emenalo and has encouraged Trabzonspor to bring him to Istanbul to help build their new-look squad.
