Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo Starts Training With Gil Vicente

Gil Vicente new recruit Simeon Tochukwu Nwankwo trained on Tuesday for the first time with his teammates.

Just last weekend, the 21 - year - old attacker signed a three - year contract with Gil Vicente, after snubbing overtures from Sporting Braga, Belenenses, Vitória de Guimarães, Servette and Jagiellonia Bialystok.

'' I did individual workout on Monday and only resumed training with the squad today.

'' I was well received by everybody - my new teammates,'' Simeon Nwankwo told allnigeriasoccer.com in a telephone conversation.

Simeon Nwankwo, who joined Gil Vicente as a free agent, netted 19 goals in 68 matches for past team Portimonense SC.

He has been handed the number 9 shirt for the 2013 - 2014 season.
