It is actually exemplary to set high goals. He wants to play at Barcelona, Blessing Eleke once said. If you interpret his behavior, he obviously does not mean in a few years – but rather today rather than tomorrow.
It’s good, no question about it. In his first season, Eleke scored 13 league goals. Wow, you thought back then. He has everything: the speed, the shot, the confidence – and above all the slick-eared.
Only in the head, unfortunately it is missing. Anyone who thinks they have to play in a top league today instead of in the Cornaredo or the Bernese Oberland in front of 5000 spectators has a hard time in Central Switzerland. You’d rather have a cramp and muck eater who gets lost for the team. Unless he scores goals on the treadmill. But there is a shortage. With three goals from 16 games, Eleke cannot expect any special treatment.
Therefore, the FCL should sell the diva that causes stink in the dressing room. The last few games have shown that Lucerne can be successful even without Eleke.
The problem, however: you would have to let it go under value. The FCL paid just over a million francs for Eleke. Its current market value is four million euros. This is what you dream of in Lucerne. But after Eleke’s questionable campaigns next to the field, sports director Remo Meyer must be happy if he ultimately does not do any negative business with the striker.
