Recent reports claiming that former Nigeria U23 striker David Okereke has reached a verbal agreement with Turkish side Kocaelispor are inaccurate, confirms. The 27 year old, currently on loan at Gaziantep from Cremonese, remains without [transfer commitments](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-events-and-tournaments/) as talks are yet to occur. +

Okereke has enjoyed a productive season in the Turkish Süper Lig, scoring eight goals and providing several assists in 27 appearances, prompting discussion around his long-term future. However, no formal offer or agreement has been made with Kocaelispor, a club that, despite its recent promotion to the TFF First League, is not currently in [negotiations](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/interviews/is-ahmed-musas-unity-cup-call-up-a-game-changer-for-super-eagles/) with the forward. +

Gaziantep retain the option to sign Okereke permanently, while Serie B side Cremonese who hold his contract until 2026 continue to explore their options amid interest from other clubs, including Cagliari. +

Editorial +
+
We applaud for dispelling premature transfer claims regarding Okereke. In today’s fast-paced football media landscape, it’s easy for unverified rumours to gain traction. Ensuring accuracy protects both the player’s integrity and the credibility of reporting. +
+
We also acknowledge Okereke’s [impressive](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/trevan-sanusi-makes-senior-newcastle-united-debut-in-fa-cup-victory/) form in Turkey. Eight goals and a handful of assists in 27 appearances show he’s rediscovering his scoring touch. It’s no surprise that his future is being closely monitored by multiple clubs. But until official negotiations are confirmed, speculation remains just that speculation. +
+
We recognise the complexity of his situation: Gaziantep hold a purchase option, Cremonese owns his contract to 2026, and interest from clubs like Cagliari adds layers to any transfer discussions. A clear communication strategy featuring transparent updates benefits all parties and allows fans to follow genuine progress. +
+
Our confidence remains firm Okereke should stay focused on performance rather than chatter. His form [deserves stability](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/stadiums-and-facilities/) not distractions. With football’s gaze fixed on him, we trust that truth, not rumours, will guide his next move towards a career-defining chapter. +
