Super Eagles winger, Bright Ejuke to join Sevilla on a three-year deal

Spanish club, Sevilla have agreed on a deal to sign Super Eagles forward Chidera Ejuke.

The 26-year-old has a verbal agreement to join Sevilla and will have his medical on Monday, June 17, after which he will sign a three-year contract with the La Liga side.

The seven-time UEFA Europa League winners finished 14th in the Spanish La Liga standings last season and want to strengthen their squad ahead of the next campaign.

Ejuke attracted the interest of Sevilla after a decent loan spell with Royal Antwerp last term, having scored five goals with six assists to his name across all competitions.

Ejuke spent this season on loan at Royal Antwerp from CSKA Moscow, who paid €11m for him in 2020. The Super Eagle scored 5 times and gave 6 assists in 39 appearances in Belgium, having struggled to impress in Russia during his time there.

He will sign as a free agent with Sevilla, providing Victor Orta and Garcia Pimienta with a winger capable of playing on both sides, as well as adding pace and one-on-one ability.
