Super Eagles winger, Chidera Ejuke has expressed delight following his move to Spanish club, Sevilla FC.
Ejuke was announced as the lastest signing of the Rojiblancos on its website on Monday, June 17, joining the team on a three-year contract.
The 26-year-old said it feels special being the first Nigerian to wear the colours of the former Europa League champions.
The Nigeria international whose contract with Russian giants, CSKA Moscow expired at the end of the season, hopes playing for Sevilla will help him earn a recall to the Super Eagles.
He told the club’s website; “It is special to be the first Nigerian here. I think I feel good being part of this team and I am looking forward to seeing what I can contribute to the team.
“I also hope to be able to back with Nigeria, because obviously it’s always nice to represent your country, so I hope it’s time to do it again and I’m also very excited.”
