Africa Tyronne Ebuehi : Nigeria International Signing at FC Twente, Dutch Eredivisie Side

Nigeria international, Tyronne Ebuehi signed at FC Twente. Dutch Eredivisie club officially confirmed the versatile fullback after a season-long loan from Portuguese set-up Benfica.

Ebuehi moved to Benfica in summer 2018 but the defender had difficulty to find game. Because he was recovering from a career-threatening injury. He was then sent to the reserve team, so much so that he has yet to make his competitive debut for the first team.

Technical Director of FC Twente, Jan Streuer labelled Ebuehi a talented player. As he has highlighted that the player was a member of the Super Eagles squad to the 2018 World Cup.

It is great that we can add Tyronne Ebuehi to our selection. In his time at ADO Den Haag, Tyronne has shown to be a talented player,” Streuer told Twente’s official website.

It is not without reason he was selected for the national team of Nigeria and played at the 2018 World Cup. In his first year at Benfica, Tyronne had a difficult season due to an injury. But last year he made his appearance for Benfica B. He is top fit and will hopefully be able to fully join our selection soon.” He continued.

Born in Haarlem, Ebuehi made 78 appearances in the Eredivisie. All coming in the colours of ADO Den Haag before transferring to Benfica.
