Mikel Agu responds to Critics over Japan move

Midfielder Mikel Agu says he’s happy with his move to the Japanese league and can’t wait to get started.

Agu was criticized for joining J-League side Shonan Bellmare, as many believes he still has a lot to offer in Europe.

However in a short video posted on the club’s official Twitter handle, the player expressed his delight to start a new journey, adding that he made a good decision to join the team.

“Hello supporters, my name is Mikel Agu. I am happy to be here in Shonan Bellmare, I love it and I am hoping very soon to see you guys at the Stadium.

“I am here to give my best and I hope that at the end of the season we are going to be happy. Halleh!.”

Agu signed for the team as a free agent in the last transfer window, joining on a two-year contract.

The Super Eagles midfielder had stints at FC Porto, Club Brugge, Vitoria Setubal, Bursaspor, Vitoria Guimaraes and Fuenlabrada.
