In his only season at the club, he racked up 10 goals and another six assists in his only season, before catching the attention of CSKA Moscow.
With the Russian side, he added another 10 goals and eight assists to his career tally, as well as making his debut in European competition, with five appearances in the UEFA Europa League. For the last two seasons, he has enjoyed loan spells, firstly at Hertha Berlin during the 2022/23 season, where he shared a dressing room with Dodi Lukebakio, and then Royal Antwerp, where he made four appearances in the UEFA Champions League this season for Mark van Bommel’s side.
At international level, Ejuke made his debut for the Nigerian national team in 2020 after representing the Super Eagles at various youth levels, and has since earned eight caps during qualifying campaigns for the World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations.
