Nigerian left-back Elderson Echiejile has signed a four-year deal with Braga.

The capture of the international defender, who is part of Nigeria’s World Cup squad in South Africa, paves the way for the departure of Evaldo, who is expected to switch to Liga Sagres rivals Sporting.

“He has signed for four years with Braga, and will play in the Champions League,” confirmed the brother and agent of the former Rennes defender, Emmanuel Echiejile.

“He has already visited the club to see Braga’s facilities and was very happy with their ambitions. Both the coach and the president want to count on him. It’s a transfer that opens up a lot of possibilities for Elderson.”

The 22-year-old had been tracked by Braga for over a year and arrives at the Estadio AXA on a free transfer.

Braga is a good club judging from this seasons performance

the most important thing is that he plays regularly. Good move anyways, Braga are in the Champions League

i hope more of our players get good european teams that play at the highest level

Lets hope they make it past the preliminary stages

Do you see players though registered but cant make first team in the UCL?

Portuguese league is a more skillful league than french league and if he could not make a single appearance in an average club in france, then ma guy i no get hope say the guy go even see bench for portugal.

You hit the nail on the head. . . . Echiejile cannot hold down regular spot in Braga. . .
