Super Eagles Deputy Skipper, Vincent Enyeama has been loaned to Maccabi Tel-Aviv by Ligue 1 side, Lille FC, the French club confirmed on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old Nigerian goalkeeper arrived in the northern France last summer but played just three matches for Lille last season.

Enyeama was second in the pecking order behind former France international goalkeeper Mickael Landreau, but has seen Lille coach Rudi Garcia bring in Steeve Elana from Brest to provide extra competition between the posts in the coming season.

Enyeama previously played for Maccabi’s city rivals Hapoel Tel-Aviv, where he moved to France before he returned to Israel on a loan deal.
