Official : Amkar Perm Announce Izunna Uzochukwu Has Joined OB Odense

With a statement published on their official website, Amkar Perm have announced that Nigeria national - teamer Izunna Uzochukwu has left the team to join OB Odense in Denmark.

Amkar Perm stressed in the press release that they would have loved to continue their association with Uzochukwu but the monetary offer from Odense was too good to refuse.

“We certainly hoped for a long-term cooperation but today, footballer returned to Denmark, a country where he became the best defensive midfielder of the championship, ” Amkar Perm said in a press release.

“Reason for leaving a few.  Chief among them is that our club can not fail to react to the financial proposals that come to us especially if these proposals relate to foreign footballers. 

“The Danes were able to interest the club and the player.  We thank Izu for time spent in the team, and we wish him great success.”

The 25-year-old Uzochuwku suited up 9 times for Amkar Perm in the Russian Premier League and was cautioned two times.

A product of FC Ebedei, the midfielder spent about nine years with FC Midtjylland before joining Amkar Perm on a free transfer in the summer of 2015.
