Ikechukwu Uche Confirms Transfer To Tigres UANL Is Now In The Bag

Ikechukwu Uche had confirmed that his transfer to Mexican club Tigres UANL is now in the bag, which has effectively ended his 13 - year collaboration with Spanish clubs.

The Nigeria international, who last defended the colours of the Yellow Submarine in Spain, was pleased to pass his physical and medical examination.

“I’m very happy to announce an agreement with @TigresOficial I will do my best for the team #SomosTigres,” Ikechukwu Uche announced through Twitter.

Ikechukwu Uche’s elder brother, Kalu, was courted by Tigres ahead of the 2012 - 2013 season before he agreed terms with Turkish club Kasimpasa.

The 31 - year - old is the first African player to be acquired by the three - time Mexican champions.
