New mates: Nigerian rising star David Oguejiofor joins Cristiano Ronaldo and Mane at Al Nassr

In a move that shows the Saudi Pro League's commitment to blending global icons wit​h elite young talent, Al Nassr has officially completed the signing of Nigerian midfielder David Oguejiofor.

The youngster’s switch to Saudi Arabia represents a significant career milestone, as he joins one of the region's most ambitious clubs during their relentless star-studded recruitment drive.

Oguejiofor becomes the latest Nigerian to embrace the Saudi football revolution, following the path of several African stars who have transitioned to the Gulf.

Oguejiofor arrives at Al Nassr from the prestigious Simoiben Football Academy (Moses Simon academy), who produced Super Eagles wonderkid Benjamin Fredrick, in Kaduna.

The academy, which has become a hotbed for Nigerian talent, confirmed the blockbuster move via their social media channels, expressing immense pride in the midfielder's progression.

“We are proud to announce that we have successfully completed the transfer of our player, David Oguejiofor to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr FC. This is a huge opportunity to show the world his talent and we are certain he'll do that greatly. All the best, David.”

The academy further celebrated the milestone with a rallying cry for the young prospect:

“One of Our Own!! From Simoiben Football Academy to Al-Nassr. Remember the name, David Oguejiofor.”

By joining the Riyadh-based giants, Oguejiofor enters a dressing room filled with some of the greatest names in modern football history. 

He is set to line up alongside five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo and African legend Sadio Mane.

The Nigerian midfielder will look to establish himself as a key component of Al Nassr's engine room as they push for domestic dominance in the Saudi Pro League and continental success in the AFC Champions League. 

For Oguejiofor, the opportunity to learn from legends like Ronaldo and Mane offers a unique platform to refine his game on one of the world's most-watched stages.
