Sheffield United Full Signature of another Nigerian player

The Sheffield United English championship side has completed the signing of Ehije Ukaki, six months after signing his fellow Nigerian Cristiano Nwachukwu of the same Botev Plovdiv club, reports Owngoalnigeria.com.

The 20 -year -old scored seven goals in 37 games in all competitions last season. A count that has led to questions about the signing of the end in a three -year agreement, which forces chief coach Chris Wilder to defend his signature.

“Ehije is a player who has been identified through our data strategy and is someone we hope to develop,” said Blades Chief Chris Wilder, to the club’s website.

“It is an emerging talent, still only 20, who has enjoyed some experience in European football at the beginning of his career, so there is a basis for working,” he explained.

Ukaki also resorted to social networks to express his happiness by joining next to the championship that lost the ascent to the English premier league through the game, which Sunderland won. “Hello Blades fans, it’s Ehije Ukaki here. It’s great to sign for Sheffield United, I’m looking forward to moving, I’m ready for the challenge,” he said on his Instagram page.
