Remo Stars Academy captain Obasi Onyebuchi has stated his mission to Valerenga, which is to win and to take the next step in his career at the Oslo side.
The 18-year-old winger expressed his delight at joining the club after signing a four-and-a-half-year contract on Sunday and uttered his first words as a Bohemian.
“This is my dream, and I am very happy to be here. I come here to win and to take the next step in my career, he says modestly.
The club announced his signing in a statement on their official website, which reads: Vålerenga and Beyond Limits Football Club agree on a transfer for Obasi Onyebuchi. The 18-year-old Nigerian winger has signed a contract until 2028 and arrived at the training camp in Marbella on Sunday morning.
Onyebuchi is a player the scouting team has followed for quite some time, and among many interested parties, it was Vålerenga who secured the signature of the talent with a future ahead of him. Now he is happy to be in royal blue and to show off for the Capital Club.
Their sports director, Joacim Jonsson, is delighted to have Obasi in place with the rest of the squad and says the following about the winger he compared with their former Nigerian forward, Chidera Ejuike.
“If I were to compare Obasi with a player who has been at the club before, I would say Chidera Ejuke. They are quite similar in player type, but Obasi is probably a bit further along than Chiddi was at the same age. He is a great talent, but we cannot expect him to come here and deliver on day 1. He can, of course, do it already this year, but it can also take one or two years, says Jonsson, adding:
“This is a player we will help develop and who we can hopefully enjoy for a long time. We have followed him for a long time and are looking forward to seeing what he can achieve in the royal blue suit, concludes Jonsson.
The club warmly welcomed Obasi as he met with his new teammates and completed his medical.
Remo Stars, on their own, announced the transfer of the player to the Norwegian First Division campaigners on their Instagram account.
“We can confirm the departure of academy captain Onyebuchi Obasi to five-time Norwegian league winners, Vålerenga FC. The winger joins Valerenga Oslo on a four-and-a-half-year deal.
Best of luck in Norway, Onye,” writes the Nigeria Premier Football League giants
