La Liga: Sevilla give reasons for signing Super Eagles player Chidera Ejuke

Victor Orta Sevilla, sporting director, has explained why the club signed Nigerian midfielder Chidera Ejuke.

It is recalled that the Rojiblancos announced Ejuke’s arrival at the club on Monday.

The Nigerian international moved to the former UEFA Europa League on a free transfer after his contract with Russian club CSKA Moscow expired.

The winger was introduced to the fans on Wednesday (today).

Orta stressed that the Nigerian is exactly what the club needs in a winger.

“We had known Ejuke since he arrived in Europe and we were surprised by his loan in November. We discovered that he was free, we followed him weekly and we were convinced by his personality and all the information we needed,” Orta was quoted as saying through the club’s official website

“We also spoke to the coach (Quique Sánchez Flores), who attaches great importance to the wingers, to speed, etc.; and these are characteristics that Chidera has. He also applies good pressure after losing the ball and we had to act quickly because he was free.”
