Dutch Eredivisie side FC Twente have officially announced the signing of Nigeria international Tyronne Ebuehi and the club’s technical director Jan Streuer said they are delighted to sign the player.
The 24-year-old versatile fullback arrived the Enschede-based on a season-long loan from Portuguese set-up Benfica, with an option to buy at the end of the season.
Ebuehi joined Benfica in the summer of 2018 but he struggled for game time at the club, no thanks to long term injury that hampered his progress.
Technical Director of FC Twente Jan Streuer said Ebuehi is a quality player who is coming into their squad with a FIFA World Cup experience.
“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 that 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. ”
Ebuehi is not new to the Eredivisie, as he previously played for Ado Den Haag and made 78 league appearances for the club.
