Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi has completed a permanent transfer to Bundesliga club Hamburg from Ligue 1 side OGC Nice.

The Nigeria international joins Die Rothosen as their seventh signing of the summer transfer window as the German club continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

Moffi, 27, has been handed the number nine shirt and will look to hit the ground running in the Bundesliga after embarking on a new chapter in his career.

“The coach was really convincing in our discussions. The location, with its fantastic fans, and the club’s overall direction also played a role in my decision,” Moffi told Hamburg’s official website.

“Even though HSV played in the second division for a few years, the club is still a big name, all over the world. When I told my father about the interest, he immediately knew which club I meant and was thrilled. For me, it was positively crazy. I’m all the happier now to be a part of the club’s history.”

Moffi, who has played club football in six different countries, arrives at Hamburg with vast experience and an impressive scoring record of 88 goals and 13 assists in 228 competitive appearances.

The striker said he looks forward to contributing more than goals to his new team.

“As a striker, I naturally love scoring goals, but I also love working for the team and keeping the whole group together. I’m the new guy in the team right now, which is always a bit strange at first, but I’m really looking forward to getting to know everyone and getting started together soon,” he added.

Hamburg board member Kathleen Krüger believes the Nigerian forward will give the club greater depth and quality in attack.

“Terem is an excellent fit for our approach. His signing gives us even more depth and versatility in the center-forward position, thereby increasing our overall quality. His career path so far brings extensive experience at a high international level, which he can also pass on to our young talents. We are delighted to have Terem at HSV and extend a warm welcome to him,” Krüger said.

Victor Osimhen has moved into third place on Galatasaray’s list of all-time highest-scoring foreign players, Dailyvoice.ng reports. Osimhen achieved the milestone after scoring twice in Okan Buruk’s side’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Erzurum FK on Friday night.

The brace took the Nigeria international’s tally for the Turkish champions to 62 goals, moving him past former Czech Republic striker Milan Baros, who scored 61 times during his spell with the club.

Osimhen has now registered an impressive 62 goals and 16 assists in 76 appearances for the Yellow and Reds.

The 27-year-old now trails only Argentine striker Mauro Icardi, who has scored 77 goals, and Galatasaray legend Gheorghe Hagi, who occupies second spot with 72 goals.

The former Lille forward also reached another notable milestone with his brace against Erzurum FK.

Osimhen became the first Galatasaray player since Brazilian striker Mario Jardel in the 2000/01 campaign to score at least four goals in the opening two matches of a Süper Lig season.

The Super Eagles star has enjoyed a blistering start to the new campaign, registering four goals and one assist in Galatasaray’s first two league matches.

Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored his 977th career goal following his return to action for Al Nassr on Friday.

The Portuguese player and captain has now netted his 130th goal for Al Nassr in all competitions since joining the Saudi Arabian club in December 2022.

Naija News reports that Ronaldo, who came off the bench, pushed Al Nassr’s dominance further after netting the 4th goal of the match in the 83rd minute following a brilliant assist from Yahya.

It is worth noting that Ronaldo had been starting off from the bench in Al Nassr’s previous matches. He watched from the stands when his side defeated Al Fateh on Saturday.

For Friday’s match, Al Nassr scored the opening goal in the 18th minute when Al Amri found the net, giving the away side an early advantage.

Angelo scored the 2nd goal in the 46th minute before Joao Felix turned the scoreboard to 3-0 in the 58th minute.

Ronaldo cemented the victory in the 83rd minute.
