Super Eagles Star Chinedu Obasi Explains Why He Returned To AIK Again
Published: January 30, 2019Nigeria international Chinedu Obasi has explained why he penned a deal with Swedish Allsvenskan side AIK for the third time in his career.
The 32-year-old striker was on the books of IF Elfsborg for four months in 2018 after an uneventful spell at Bolton Wanderers.
''Yes, of course it was. But when AIK came ... I have always had a special bond with AIK and I went to Elfsborg to be able to come back to AIK later,'' Obasi said to fotbolldirekt.se.
''My idea was always to play in AIK. I've said it before, if I play somewhere in Sweden it should be in AIK.
''It was a good experience in Elfsborg but unfortunately it didn't go so well. I think AIK is a better place for me. It suits me better to compete at a higher level.''
Obasi's agreement with AIK will run out at the end of the 2019 season.
