Bright Ejuke Set to Join Sevilla on Three-Year Deal
Super Eagles winger Bright Ejuke is set to embark on an exciting new chapter in his career by joining Sevilla on a three-year contract.
The 26-year-old Nigerian international will be moving to the Spanish La Liga club on a free transfer after his stint with CSKA Moscow and a season-long loan at Hertha Berlin.
Ejuke’s move to Sevilla is significant for several reasons. Known for his pace, dribbling skills, and ability to play on both wings, Ejuke has the potential to be a valuable asset for Sevilla as they aim to strengthen their squad.
His performances in the Russian Premier League with CSKA Moscow, where he became a fan favorite, showcased his ability to adapt and excel in different leagues.
During his loan spell at Hertha Berlin, Ejuke gained valuable experience in the Bundesliga, which further honed his skills and increased his visibility on the European stage.
This experience is expected to serve him well in La Liga, one of the most competitive leagues in the world.
Sevilla’s interest in Ejuke highlights their commitment to bolstering their attacking options.
The club has a history of nurturing talent and helping players reach new heights in their careers. With Ejuke’s addition, Sevilla aims to enhance their offensive capabilities and push for higher achievements in both domestic and European competitions.
This transfer also holds personal significance for Ejuke, who has expressed his eagerness to play in La Liga, a league he has admired for its style of play and competitive nature. Joining Sevilla offers him a platform to further showcase his talent and establish himself as a key player on the international stage.
Overall, Bright Ejuke’s move to Sevilla represents a strategic step for both the player and the club. It is a promising opportunity for Ejuke to continue his development and make a substantial impact in one of Europe’s top football leagues.
Former Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi has urged Victor Osimhen to avoid a move to Saudi Arabia this summer. Mikel Obi described it as a “shame” if Osimhen were to join a Middle Eastern club, believing the striker still has plenty to offer at the highest level in Europe.
Osimhen is set to return to Napoli after a successful loan spell at Galatasaray, where he netted an impressive 37 goals in 41 games. The 26-year-old is widely expected to make a permanent transfer before the start of the 2025/2026 season.
“I’m hoping he gets a chance to play in the Premier League this summer,” Mikel Obi told Metro. “I don’t want to see him heading to Saudi Arabia right now because his talent deserves to shine in Europe. “It would be a real shame to see him go there. Clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, Juventus, and PSG could be good options for him. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.”
Ademola Lookman has opened up about how choosing to play for Nigeria over England has been a turning point in his football journey. Born in England to Nigerian parents, the 27-year-old winger once wore the English colours at youth levels, featuring for the U-19, U-20, and U-21 teams. But in 2022, he made a bold move—switching to represent Nigeria at the senior level, debuting in a tense clash against long-time rivals Ghana.
Since then, the Atalanta star has made a name for himself in the green and white jersey. He was a key figure in Nigeria’s run to the final at the 2023 AFCON in Côte d’Ivoire, scoring three times and assisting once. His standout performances earned him the title of Africa’s best player in a ceremony held in Marrakech last December.
Reflecting on his decision in a chat with ARISE TV, Lookman said, “No doubt, choosing Nigeria changed everything for me—my career and my life. This is where I belong. I feel at home here. I’m truly a son of the soil.”
Former Spartak Moscow star Eduard Mor has shared his thoughts ahead of the upcoming international friendly between Russia and Nigeria, calling it a match to look forward to. Set to be played this Friday at 6 p.m. in Moscow, Mor believes the clash will be both exciting and filled with quality play. He praised Nigeria’s attack, describing it as one of the most dangerous on the global stage—not just in Africa.
“Nigeria are a strong side by international standards,” Mor said in a chat with Match TV. “They have players who’ve been doing well in top European clubs for years.” He pointed out that the Super Eagles’ frontline is packed with talent, saying each attacker seems to outshine the next. According to him, this balance of strength makes the team a real threat.
“Nigeria’s attackers are known around the world. They’re all strong individually, and that makes them even more dangerous as a unit. I believe this match is going to be very entertaining and full of action.” The Super Eagles go into the friendly with momentum, having recently defeated Jamaica in the Unity Cup final.
