Nigerian goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama part ways with French Ligue One club, Lille

Former Nigeria captain Vincent Enyeama has left French club Lille after having his contract ended in common assent.
 “The 36-year-old shot-stopper who missed the entire season last year recuperating from a meniscus injury he sustained in April 2017 is, however, free to join any club of his choice after spending seven years at the club.
"After seven years, the adventure ends now and I can only thank the club and supporters for the amazing love," Enyeama told BBC Sport. 
Enyeama helped the club to the 2016 French League cup final where they were edged by giants Paris St-Germain. With 17 clean sheets from 35 league games in the 2013/14 season, he emerged as the first goalkeeper to be named French Ligue 1 African Player of the Season.  

Lille paid a glowing tribute to the player on its website and wrote that: "Beyond his performances, Lille and the supporters will remember Vincent's smile and enthusiasm. The club now wishes him the best in his future projects."
