Nigerian defender Gabriel Osho has officially completed a move to Cardiff City, signing a four-year contract with the English Championship side. The 25-year-old joins from French club AJ Auxerre for an undisclosed fee.
Osho earned his first call-up to the Nigerian national team earlier this year, a recognition of his steady rise in European football. At Auxerre, he was a standout performer in Ligue 1 and attracted the attention of Cardiff.
Speaking after completing the move, Osho expressed his excitement about joining the Bluebirds:
“I’m really happy, and really excited. Hopefully I can feed off the team’s momentum, get going straight away, and just keep the wins and the clean sheets going. I’ve been watching the games so far and the atmosphere is amazing.”
Cardiff City confirmed the deal via their official channels on Thursday, welcoming Osho to the Bluebirds family. The club’s fans are optimistic that his addition will strengthen their defensive line ahead of the new campaign.
For Nigeria, this transfer adds to the growing list of players with dual heritage making waves in Europe. With Osho now set for regular football in England, attention will turn to whether he can consolidate his form at club level and establish himself as a reliable option for the Super Eagles.
