SUPER TALENT,OGBUKE BACK FROM THE DEAD
BY ABAYOMI JOHNSON
Nigeria striker Chinedu Obasi Ogbuke may have rediscovered his scoring wand in Sweden in the colours of AIK.
The 30-year-old Sunday opened his account with the Allsvenskan side,
scoring the first two goals, which secured them victory against Orebro
SK at Behrn Arena, Örebro.
The former TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and Schakle 04 of Germany striker put his
new club in front on 37 minutes, while his strike partner made it two
in as many minutes into added time.
It was his second outing with the club following his free transfer from Schalke on August 3, 2016.
Ogbuke is back to full fitness after over two years of protracted battle
with injuries currently plays alongside 34-year-old former Nigeria
striker, Dickson Etuhu, who was an unused substitute in Sunday’s game
and John Chibuike, 27, who has yet to play for the club since crossing
over from Gaziantep on August 10 2016.
Ogbuke was part of the Nigeria national under-20 football team that
finished runners-up at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship and
competed with the Nigeria national under-23 football team that finished
runners-up at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
He was part of the Super Eagles team that finished third at the 2010
Africa Cup of Nations and that competed at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
