“@hootanacan (Ogu’s agent Hootan Ahmadi) has started discussion with the club to renew my contract and he has told me the club are also keen for me to stay.
“These things are never in black and white and it takes time. Please be patient with both me and the club, I hope I’m sure we will reach an agreement to keep me here that is fair for the club but also reflective of commitment and service to Beer Sheva.
