The Super Eagles midfielder has signed a deal with last season's Europa League finalists after quitting Volyn at the end of his contract

Nigeria midfielder Michael Babatunde has signed a three-year deal with last season’s Europa League finalists Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk after canceling his contract with Volyn.

The 22-year-old, who has spent five years in Ukraine, will wear the jersey No.9.

Babatunde who turned down top teams that failed to meet his valuation disclosed that the conversation he had with manager Bohgdanovych Markevych swung the decision for him.

“There were discussions with nearly all the top clubs,” Babatunde said.

“I have played against Dnipro in the past and he has wanted me ever since but the teams I played for (Krybass and Volyn) never wanted me to go,”

“Teams from France, Spain and Germany but none of them were ready to meet my valuation and in the end Dnipro came out on top.

“I spoke to Markevych and he totally convinced me. He gave me the feeling that I was very important for him. Not only as a player but also as a person – and then it was clear that I would sign for Dnipro.”

Babatunde, who is expected to make his official debut for the club in the Ukrainian League against Shaktar Donetsk, also admitted that the prospect of featuring in the Europa League was another reason he joined.

It's not that easy to sign top team and break into first team for Africans like that. European football is very technical and our players needs a lot to learn before they could fit in. The competition is rife there.

Great...is that the contract document or a dissertation
Hope he knows that the contract sum is exclusive of taxes
Hope that he knows how to get work permit
See his handling of the pen
Looks like that the document is double-columned, one part in English and his native language

Igbo Kwenu .......................Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Judging by what Oliseh said about who he will invite to play for Nigeria, his chances re slim.

Sweden’s second tier side Ange IF says it has signed on 24-yr-old Ghana legend, Bernard Don Bortey.
Remember Don Bortey played for Accra Hearts of Oak in the late 90s.
