Nigeria striker Kingsley Eduwo makes shock move to Iraq
#MTNshortz3sixtyworld
Two Nigeria international strikers, Kingsley Eduwo and Bartholomew Ogbeche, have completed moves to Asian clubs.
Former Super Eagles Team B star, Eduwo, will be spending the remainder of the 2018-2019 campaign on loan at Iraqi Premier League side Al-Najaf FC from Tunisian outfit CS Sfaxien.
The 22-year-old represented Lobi Stars, Gateway United and Sunshine Stars in his homeland before he was acquired by CS Sfaxien in the January transfer window.
Indian Super League team NorthEast United have pulled off a transfer coup with the signing of free agent Ogbeche, who found himself unemployed at the end of last season after his contract was not renewed by Willem II.
The experienced frontman has played in the United Arab Emirates for Al Jazira Club back in the 2005-2006 season.
Ogbeche lists Paris Saint-Germain, Bastia, Metz, Alavés, Valladolid, Cádiz, Kavala, Middlesbrough, Xerez and Cambuur amongst his former clubs.
Now 33, he was one of the youngest players for the Super Eagles at the 2002 World Cup.
