Russian powerhouse CSKA Moscow have confirmed the signing of out-of-favour Super Eagles attacker Aaron Samuel on a four-and-a-half-year deal from Chinese Super League club Guangzhou R&F.
Samuel, who spent last season on loan at CSKA from Guangzhou last season and scored twice in five league appearances for the club, will remain at Arena CSKA until 2021.
“Aaron Olanare has joined #CSKA on 4.5 year deal. Welcome back, Aaron!,” the club’s official Twitter account announced late on Saturday to herald the return of the 22-year-old who has been capped twice by Nigeria at senior level.
The striker has since joined the rest of his teammates in Campoamor, Spain.
Samuel, who was not invited by Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr for the Russia 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Zambia and Algeria last year, has previously played for Norwegian clubs Valeranga and Sarpsborg.
“I’m very pleased with this move, I’m really happy,” CSKA official site quoted Olanare as saying.
“I wanted to continue my career in CSKA and it’s wonderful that my dream came true.”
CSKA are currently third in the Russian Premier League, eight points behind leaders Spartak.
The Russian league is on a three-month winter break and will resume in March.
