Nigerian talent leaves Riga to join Mbappe and Moffi at PSG and Nice

Posted : 13 July 2023
Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi, an exciting Nigerian forward, has experienced a sudden change in his expected transfer to Latvian club Riga FC. 

Despite earlier reports suggesting his imminent move to Riga FC from NK Celje in Slovenia, the 21-year-old has put negotiations on hold and refrained from signing the contract, as a more enticing offer emerged unexpectedly.

According to reports from Slovenia, French club Le Havre made a last-minute bid for Ikwuemesi, successfully enticing him away from Riga FC. The talented Nigerian forward has reached an agreement with Le Havre, leaving Riga FC behind. 

This opportunity allows him to compete in Ligue 1, as Le Havre won the Ligue 2 title last season. The prospect of rubbing shoulders with renowned players like Kylian Mbappe from PSG and Terem Moffi from OGC Nice proved too tempting for Ikwuemesi to resist.

It is worth noting that Le Havre is managed by Slovenian coach Luka Elsner, whose connections in his home country may have played a role in pursuing the promising Nigerian forward. The deal with Le Havre is nearing completion, with personal terms also being finalized.

In the previous season, Ikwuemesi primarily operated as a center forward for Celje, impressing with his notable contribution of nine goals and five assists. He showcased not only his scoring ability but also his overall gameplay, standing out among his peers.

With the move to Le Havre, Ikwuemesi now has the opportunity to prove himself against top-tier clubs in Ligue 1 such as PSG, Lyon, and Marseille. His decision to seize this chance reflects his ambition to excel at the highest level of football.
