Nigerian-Brazilian Striker Jets Into Beijing To Complete Transfer To Chinese Club

Nigerian-Brazilian striker Dominic Vinícius Eberechukwu Uzoukwu is on the verge of a transfer to China, allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report.

The Vejle Boldklub star has flown to Beijing to discuss personal teams and undergo a medical before penning a contract with an unnamed Chinese club.

The Chinese club have been quoted a 1.7 million euros transfer fee for the services of Dominic Uzoukwu.

The 23-year-old had been on the radar of several European clubs but a transfer did not materialize because they failed to meet Vejle Boldklub's asking price.

Born in São Paulo to a Nigerian father and Brazilian mom, Uzoukwu had stops at Atlético Paranaense, Cuiabá and Portuguesa prior to his move to Vejle Boldklub in July 2016.

In 46 outings for Vejle Boldklub, the big and powerful striker scored 24 goals and provided 6 assists.
