Nigeria defender Zaidu Sanusi is expected to leave Portuguese side FC Porto before the end of the transfer window, Completesports reports

Sanusi started Porto’s first game of the campaign, a 2-0 win against Belenenses but is now out of favour at the club.

The former Santa Clara player was not named in the matchday squad for Sunday’s 1-1 away draw at Maritimo.

The arrival of Brazilian left-back Wendell means the defender is not guaranteed regular playing time at the club this season.

“Out of Sergio Conceição’s choice for the last round match against Marítimo, he (Sanusi) stayed on the bench. Zaidu will leave FC Porto in this summer transfer market,”Nigeria head coach Gernot Rohr told Elegbete TV.
