Czech Republic outfit, Slovan Liberec have loaned in Nigeria striker, Victor Olatunji for the remainder of the 2022/23 season, reports Prompt News.
Olatunji linked up with the three-time Czech champions from Cypriot club, AEK Larnaca.
The 23-year-old has already played for AEK Larnaca in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League this season.
Slovan Liberec manager Lubos Kozel have remarkable things to say about the new signing.
“This is a striker who is tall, strong in the air and in tackles. We do not have such a player in the team. Maybe Michael Rabušic is slightly similar to him,” Kozel told the club’s official website.
“We needed a striker after the departure of Mick van Buren and when Max Talovjerov left us, we also needed a player applicable to standard situations.
“He is a young player, so very promising for his age. We were interested in Victor already in the summer, but Larnaca did not let him go because they were playing in the Europa League group. When the opportunity arose to get him in this transfer window, we reached for him .”
