Super Eagles defender Igoh Ogbu has expressed his desire to play in the Champions League with Slavia Prague, stating that extending his contract with the Czech club was the right decision.
Ogbu believes that staying with Slavia Prague will allow him to achieve his dream of participating in the prestigious tournament. “For me, extending my contract is a good decision and I believe it’s the best one because I understand the system and the philosophy here,” Ogbu told Footy Africa. He further emphasized that playing in the Champions League is something he has always wanted, and that’s why he decided to stay with Slavia Prague for a while before considering his next step.
Ogbu’s journey to the national team has been marked by determination and a deep connection to his roots. Despite opportunities to represent other nations, he remained committed to playing for Nigeria, a decision influenced by his father’s guidance.
His dedication and performance have already made a positive impression, signaling a promising future with the Super Eagles. The 25-year-old Slavia Prague defender made his senior debut for Nigeria during the Unity Cup clash against Ghana, contributing to a 2-1 victory.
Ogbu’s decision to extend his contract with Slavia Prague comes after being heavily linked with other clubs such as Besiktas, Fenerbahce, and Lyon. However, he believes that staying with Slavia Prague is the right choice, allowing him to play in the Champions League and take the next step in his career. With his sights set on the Champions League, Ogbu is confident that his decision will pay off, and he will achieve his dreams with Slavia Prague.
