Agbekpornu, who is ready to give his all says he cannot wait to open a new chapter of his career with Slaven Belupo.

"What I can promise is that you will see from me that I give everything I have for the whole 90 minutes, and I hope that quality presentations will come from that. I am looking forward to the start of the championship, and I can't wait for everything to start." Agbekpornu said after signing the contract.

Joining Egnatia in July 2021, Agbekpornu played a total of 62 matches across all competitions, leaving a mark at the club.
