Uzochukwu set for Odense move

Super Eagles midfielder Izunna Uzochukwu has quit Russian
ckub Amkar Perm six months after joining the club on a free
transfer to join Danish side OB Odense.

The 25-year-old whose initial move was stalled by Amkar
Perm in December disclosed that he hopes to seal his move
away from Russia by Monday after he was permitted to
discuss personal terms with the Danish Superliga side.

The former FC Ebedei midfielder, who played just 11 games
for Amkar Perm before the winter break, stated that his exit
from the club is solely for football reasons.

"I'm in Denmark to complete my move to Odense,"
Uzochukwu said.

"I need to play more regularly to improve in my game and
enhance my chances of featuring in the national team.

"That's why I'm seeking a move away and it should be
completed by Monday."

Uzochukwu is on a second spell to Denmark having
previously played for FC Midtjylland before heading to
Russia.
