The transfer is also a proud moment for those who have supported the attacker throughout his development in Abuja and Nigeria.
As he settles into his new surroundings in Northern Israel, expectations will be high for the young Nigerian to translate his potential into consistent performances. The next chapter of his career has officially begun.
