Turkish football club Hatayspor has made an exciting move by signing Nigerian forward Jonathan Okoronkwo. The 20-year-old talent joins the team from Russian outfit Krasnodar, where he had previously made a name for himself.
Okoronkwo’s arrival at Hatayspor comes after a successful agreement between the two clubs. The young striker has put pen to paper on a three-year contract, committing to the Super Lig side until 2027. His addition to the squad adds depth and firepower to Hatayspor’s attacking options.
Last season, Okoronkwo showcased his scoring prowess while on loan at another Russian club, Arsenal Tula. In 30 league appearances, he found the back of the net 17 times, demonstrating his ability to make an impact in front of goal.
Hatayspor’s sporting director, Ali Gültiken, expressed his excitement about the signing, saying, “We believe that Jonathan Okoronkwo has the potential to be a key player for us. His speed, technical skills, and eye for goal make him a valuable asset.”
The young Nigerian forward is eager to prove himself in the Turkish top flight. Speaking about his move, Okoronkwo said, “I am thrilled to join Hatayspor and contribute to the team’s success. I want to repay the faith they’ve shown in me by giving my best on the pitch.”
Fans are eagerly anticipating Okoronkwo’s debut in the Hatayspor jersey. His partnership with fellow Nigerian striker Funsho Bamgboye adds an exciting dynamic to the team’s attack. With both players hungry for goals, Hatayspor aims to climb the Super Lig standings and make an impact in domestic and international competitions.
As the new season approaches, all eyes will be on Jonathan Okoronkwo as he aims to light up the Turkish football scene. Hatayspor supporters hope that his signing will be a catalyst for success, and the young forward is ready to embrace the challenge.
