Chris Wilder hails versatile Ehije Ukaki following Sheffield United move
Sheffield United have once again turned to the Bulgarian market to strengthen their attacking options, securing the signature of another promising Nigerian talent Ehije Ukaki, a deal lauded by head coach Chris Wilder, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Following the January acquisition of winger Christian Nwachukwu, the club has now reached an undisclosed agreement with Bulgarian top-flight side Botev Plovdiv for the versatile Ehije Ukaki, where they earlier signed his countryman to continue the blooming development of young talented players.
The 20-year-old forward has signed a contract that will keep him at Bramall Lane until the summer of 2028, adding both depth and versatility to United’s frontline after missing narrowly missing EPL promotion last season.
"Ehije is a player who has been identified through our data driven strategy and is someone we're looking forward to developing. He's an emerging talent, still only 20, who has enjoyed some experience of European football early in his career, so there's a base to work from", Wilder stated.
The move is subject to necessary documentations.
