Super Eagles hopeful thrilled with Nigerian quartet at Antwerp

Posted : 03 August 2023
Royale Antwerp midfielder Alhassan Yusuf is delighted with the increasing number of Nigerians joining the Belgian champions' ranks. 

Previously the only Nigerian player at the club, Yusuf has seen the Nigerian contingent grow with the recent arrivals of Victor Udoh, George Ilenikhena, and Chidera Ejuke.

While Udoh didn't play a major role in the club's historic first league title win, the team faced struggles in attack during the campaign. 

In response, Antwerp signed George Ilenikhena from Amiens and brought in Chidera Ejuke on a season-long loan from CSKA Moscow.

Yusuf is pleased with the bolstered options, stating that it's good for the team to have more attacking talents. 

He welcomes Ejuke to the club and looks forward to training with him soon. The growing Nigerian contingent has created a close-knit group on the team, with the players often talking about Nigeria and sharing camaraderie.

Antwerp began their title defense with a 1-0 home victory against Cercle Brugge on July 30, and the Nigerian players' presence adds strength and diversity to the squad.
