Nigerian Striker Etiosa Ighodaro Moves From Sundowns to SuperSport

• Etiosa Godspower Ighodaro will go out on loan again after his success at Chippa United last season
• The Nigerian striker signed for Mamelodi Sundowns from Abuja College but hasn't played for them
• SuperSport United have confirmed the signing of Ighodaro and Grant Margeman from Sundowns

Etiosa Ighodaro is becoming somewhat of a loan specialist.

The Nigerian striker is a Mamelodi Sundowns player but is yet to turn out in the club’s colours - and this season will be no different.

Ighodaro joined the DStv Premiership champions in 2021 from Abuja Football College but was first sent out on loan to the University of Pretoria.

The following season, he was loaned out to Chippa United, where he showcased his goal-scoring prowess with 11 strikes in the season, Transfermarkt noted.

Despite his impressive showing, Ighodaro can’t get into the Sundowns’ side as Masandawana’s city rivals, SuperSport United, have confirmed the Nigerian will play for them next season.

Margeman joins Ighodaro at SuperSport

The Nigerian attacker is not the only Sundowns star who will join SuperSport for next season. As noted by FarPost, Grant Margeman has secured a permanent move to United.

The midfielder spent last season on loan at the team and was instrumental in helping them to a third-place finish in the league and qualifying for the CAF Confederations Cup.

Ighodaro attracts international attention

Ighodaro is a man in demand at the moment. The Mamelodi Sundowns striker has attracted interest from a few clubs lately, including sides in Europe.

As Sports Brief reported, not only has the Nigerian been linked with a move to France, he also received interest from Serbian side, Partizan Belgrade.
