Signed barely two months ago, Promise wasted no time adapting to the tempo and physicality of European football. Since making his professional debut, he has consistently impressed coaches and fans alike with his vision, technical control, and relentless work rate.
His recent performance in a high-intensity 2-2 draw against RS Riga was particularly eye-catching. Promise dominated the midfield, breaking up plays, launching counter-attacks, and showing a calm composure rarely seen in players his age.
Fans in Jelgava are beginning to chant his name, and pundits across the Baltic league are tipping him as one of the breakout stars of the 2025 season.
With his rapid development, European scouts are already circling — but FS Jelgava seem determined to nurture their new gem a little longer.
From Abia to the Baltic, Promise Eghomwanre isn’t just living his dream — he’s lighting up a continent. Watch this space.
