Like every year, this September saw quite a few footballers who, despite the new season having already started, are still without an employer. Among them is this time the Slovenian record holder, a forward who set a record years ago that has yet to be surpassed by anyone. When Blessing Eleke transferred from Gorica to Olimpija in 2016, Milan Mandarić paid as much as around 800,000 euros for him, which is still a significant amount by Slovenian standards today. The African achieved what he did in Ljubljana (most remember him mainly for the affair with Marko Nikolić), and now, so many years later, he is again on the hunt for a new employer.
The footballer born in Nigeria, who came to Slovenia at a young age, is currently 28 years old, and most recently played – believe it or not – in Tajikistan! There, he wore the jersey of a club named Istiklol and actually did not perform poorly in his dismal episode in Japan. He played 11 matches for the 12-time Tajik champion and scored 7 goals. He is still the second top scorer in the league, which runs according to the calendar year, but he has already withdrawn from the battle for the scoring crown.
Blessing Eleke left the club from Dušanbe after less than half a year, and where he will continue his career is still unknown. He does not have a new club yet, and as for returning to Slovenia… Who knows what the actual possibilities for such a thing could be. Probably not the greatest, the times when Blessing Eleke thought more about goals than about where to sign the best contract are long gone.
