Nigerian international Chiders Ejuke has officially joined German Bundesliga outfit Hertha BSC which is famously known as Hertha Berlin.

The 24-year-old winger will now be based in Germany's Charlottenburg capital city side having been unveiled on Wednesday evening.

It was gathered that the Super Eagles star joined the bandwagon of players moving to Germany as Buli News reports that he will take advantage of a UEFA legal ruling that allows him to nullify his current contract with his Russian club CSKA Moscow.

Hertha CEO said:

"Chidera has already proven himself in several European leagues. He brings technique, versatility and skills. We are convinced that he will augment our game."
"I'm looking forward to Hertha, to the Bundesliga and this special challenge."

The player himself remarked in a statement accompanying the signing:

"I want to do my part to help the club achieve its goals."

Eguavoen explains why Ejuke was not invited for clashes with Ghana

Meanwhile, the then Nigeria coach Augustine Eguavoen disclosed that he wanted to achieve a balanced team and that was why Chidera Ejuke was not invited for the World Cup play-offs against Ghana.

Eguavoen named an initial 32-man list for Nigeria, but Chidera Ejuke who had been tipped to step into Jay Jay Okocha’s shoes for his dribbling skills was missing on the list.

The Eagles eventually failed to qualify for the World Cup as the Black Stars went through courtesy of the away goals rule.

Osimhen returns to Napoli

Sports Brief earlier reported that Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has been spotted at the Dimaro Folgarida camp as Italian side Napoli prepare for their preseason activities.

The Nigerian international has been off duty for a month, but he has returned to his base despite being linked with a number of top clubs in Europe.

Osimhen had a sensational season during the last campaign scoring 18 goals for the Partenopei in all competitions and that has attracted several clubs.
