With a statement on their official website, I- League club Sporting Clube de Goa have announced the signing of Endurance Chukwuma on undisclosed terms.

The 18 - year - old is not a stranger in Goa, having moved to the state seven years ago along with his dad, Clifford Chukwuma, an official of Sporting Clube de Goa.

“The signing of Ndidi is in keeping with the policy of Clube President Peter Vaz to groom young talent and give them the opportunities to show case their skills,” said SCG CEO Victor Fernandes to the official website.

Endurance’s elder brother, Chukwudi Chukwuma, is a professional footballer on the payroll of Czech Republic side FK Teplice.

The teenager, who is a Manchester United fan, has cited Cristiano Ronaldo as his role model.
