Official : Another Nigeria-eligible player completes move to Sheffield Wednesday

Olamide Shodipo is the second Nigeria-eligible player to complete a move to Sheffield Wednesday in a space of 24 hours, after released Everton midfielder Dennis Adeniran.

The Owls informed via their official website on Sunday morning that Shodipo has joined the club on a season-long loan from Championship outfit Queens Park Rangers.

The Irish-Nigerian winger impressed during a loan spell at Oxford United last season, scoring 13 goals to help them reach the League One playoffs.

Upon signing the loan deal, Shodipo told Sheffield Wednesday's official webpage : "I’m really happy to join.

"I’ve heard so many good things about the club, I know Massimo Luongo and he’s said some really good things.

"It’s a big club, the fans are immense and I’m looking forward to working with Darren Moore.

"I want to come and help the team as much as possible and aim for promotion."

The 24-year-old Shodipo previously enjoyed loan spells at Port Vale and Colchester United.
