Valentine Ozornwafor joins French Ligue 2 side FC Sochaux

It is hoped that Ozornwarfor's arrival will help the Lions Club secure promotion to Ligue 1 after finishing fifth in the second division last season

Ahead of the new season, French Ligue 2 club FC Sochaux have announced the signing of Nigerian international Valentine Ozornwafor.

Sochaux announced the deal on their social media channel on Friday night. The 23-year-old joins the club from Belgian side Royal Charleroi on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy.

The Super Eagles star’s latest deal is a surprise as he was one of Charleroi’s best players in the Jupiler League last season making 17 league appearances last campaign.

It is hoped that Ozornwarfor’s arrival will help the Lions Club secure promotion to Ligue 1 after finishing fifth in the second division last season.

Sochaux have not played topflight football since they got relegated in the 2013/2014 season, but Ozornwafor will hope his arrival can help the team regain their topflight status.

This is the Nigerian’s fourth club in his young career since his journey began at Enyimba before signing for Galatasaray in August 2019.

However, he spent his first year on loan at Almeria, returning in the summer of 2020.

Ozornwafor struggled for game time during his time with the Turkish giants before he was offered an escape route by Charleroi.

Although he initially joined the Belgian side on a loan deal before the club made it permanent this summer. However, he has now been sent out on loan for next season.
