Done Deal : Ex-England Boss Adds Nigeria Star Chinedu Obasi To Shenzhen F.C Roster

Beijing 2008 Olympics silver medalist Chinedu Obasi has ended speculation about his future after signing a deal with Chinese League One side Shenzhen F.C.

The Nigeria international has put pen to paper on a one-year contract, and Shenzhen F.C have retained the option of extending the agreement for twelve months at the end of the 2017 season, according to fotbolldirekt.se.

The capture of Obasi is a big blow to Swedish Allsvenskan side AIK who did everything possible to extend his stay in Stockholm but were unsuccessful.

Now 30, the attacker previously had spells with Lyn Oslo, Hoffenheim and Schalke 04.

Shenzhen F.C are coached by the successful former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.
