Nigerian midfielder Paul Obiefule, 26, has talked about his new contract with Swedish club Assyriska.

Despite interest from Hungary and Poland , Paul Obiefule chose the Premier League.

Fotbolltransfers.com with reference to Länstidningen Södertälje quoted Obiefule as saying: '' I knew the language and the type of football. That was why I decided to come here.
