Muhamed Tijani secures short term move to Plymouth Argyle
Former Nigeria U20 striker, Muhamed Tijani has joined the English Championship side, Plymouth Argyle FC, on a season loan deal from Slavia Prague, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The deal for the 36 Lion product comes with an option for Plymouth to permanently sign him at the end of the loan spell though subject to the approval of the EFL.
Argyle announced the signing of the 24-year-old on Tuesday as Head Coach Wayne Rooney says he will strengthen their attack.
“Muhamed joining further strengthens our forward line and he will bring different attributes to the squad.
“He is big, athletic and can run in behind, but is equally as good at holding the ball up and bringing other players into play.
“He has played and scored in the Europa League so comes with good pedigree but is also young and keen to improve. We are really looking forward to working with him.”, Rooney said.
Argyle Director of Football Neil Dewsnip commented: “We are really pleased that we have managed to bring Muhamed to the club.
“He was highly coveted, with several Europa League clubs keen to secure his signature, but Muhamed really bought into the project here at Argyle and was desperate to play for Wayne.
“He brings a different profile to our forward line and still has so much potential for growth, which we are really excited about.
“It is great to get another signing done before pre-season begins and we are all looking forward to getting started.”
Muhamed had loan spells with T?inec, Karvina and Taborsko before moving to Prague.
