Promising Nigerian midfielder, Azubuike Okechukwu has joined Egyptian club side, Pyramids FC, after three seasons in Turkey.

Azubuike, 21, joined the Egypt Premier League side from Yeni Malatyaspor.

 

He signed a two-year deal with the ambitious club for a fee in the region of €2million, per SCORENigeria.

 

The former Bayelsa United player showed top potential in his three season campaign with the modest Turkish side, helping gain promotion to the Super Lig two seasons ago.
