The bridge between Nigerian football and the Danish Superliga has been strengthened once again: FC Midtjylland has officially welcomed James Inyere Arinze to their ranks, as per allnigeriasoccer.com.
This announcement comes from the club’s website, marking Arinze as the latest talent to transition from FC Ebedei, a Nigerian partner club known for nurturing promising players.
James Arinze, originally a striker, was transformed into a central midfielder during his tenure with FC Ebedei. This strategic shift has paid off, highlighting his offensive capabilities and making him a significant addition to Midtjylland’s U19 squad. Arinze’s move follows the successful transfer of Super Eagles players Frank Onyeka, Raphael Onyedika, and Jamiu Musbaudeen, all of whom have made a similar journey from FC Ebedei to FC Midtjylland.
Arinze is not alone in his move to Denmark; he joins fellow Nigerians Isa Musa, Obule Sunday Moses, Mark Ugboh, and Stanley Iheanacho, who are part of Midtjylland’s youth setup. His predecessors, currently excelling in the team, along with those on loan, are expected to play a pivotal role in helping him adjust to the new environment and challenges that come with moving to Europe.
His progression at FC Midtjylland will be closely watched, as many hope he follows in the footsteps of his compatriots, making a significant impact in European football and, potentially, achieving his football dreams.
