Super Eagles winger Chidera Ejuke has been left out of Sevilla’s travelling squad for their pre-season training camp in the Netherlands, further increasing speculation over his future at the Spanish club. Sevilla manager Luis García Plaza has named a 28-man squad for the pre-season camp, which will run from July 30 to August 7, according to the club’s official website, but Ejuke was not included as the club continues discussions over a possible departure. The Nigerian forward’s omission is viewed as another sign that his time at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán could soon come to an end, with Sevilla looking to find a solution before the team returns from the Netherlands. Ejuke arrived at Sevilla as a free agent after leaving Russian side CSKA Moscow and impressed with his pace, dribbling ability and attacking threat. However, injuries and competition for places affected his consistency, and the winger is now attracting interest as Sevilla look to restructure their squad and create room for changes. The 28-year-old has become one of the few Sevilla players capable of generating a transfer fee, having joined the club without a transfer cost. The Spanish side is hoping his departure could provide some financial benefit while also helping reduce the squad size. Despite showing flashes of his quality during his Sevilla spell, the winger now appears set for a new chapter in his career. With the summer transfer window still open, Sevilla and Ejuke will continue working towards an agreement that could determine the next destination for the Super Eagles star. Wale Adejumo
