Daniel Uchechi joins Aberdeen on trial

 

Uchechi  has played for Nigeria Under-20 level

Former Nigeria Under-20 striker Daniel Uchechi has joined Aberdeen on trial.

 

The 22-year-old began his career with Charlton Athletic and was also on the books of West Ham but was most recently on loan to Sheffield Wednesday.

 

He left Upton Park for Dender in his homeland but was farmed out to Leicester City then the Owls.

 

Aberdeen said in a website statement: "Craig Brown this afternoon confirmed Daniel is at Pittodrie and will train with the club for a couple of days."

 

Uchechi was originally meant to go on trial with the Scottish Premier League club during the summer but instead turned out in pre-season for Peterborough United before joining Wednesday after a successful trial.

 

He signed for the League One club until January, but the loan spell was cut short in November after he made only one appearance under Gary Megson.

 

That was Uchechi's only senior appearance in English football, having played for Charlton's youth and reserve teams before joining West Ham in 2009.

 

He was released by the then Premier League club a year later and returned to Nigeria National League outfit Dender.

 

Uchechi had also failed to break into the first-team at Leicester during his loan spell with the Championship outfit last season.

 

Aberdeen boss Brown already has former Rangers, Leicester, Motherwell and Norwich City midfielder Stephen Hughes on trial.

 

I presume this is him at Pittodrie on Saturday?

Why do you presume that? Racist.

Reports suggesting he will sign a 2 1/2 year deal with us as fee agreed. Not sure what he is like but hopefully he is the winger we have been desperate for this season. 

Scott Vernon believes Nigerian trialist Daniel Uchechi would be a good addition to the Aberdeen squad if Craig Brown decides to offer the striker a deal.

 

Uchechi is currently training with the SPL club after he was released by League One side Sheffield Wednesday back in November.

 

He can also play on the wing and forward Vernon is confident that Uchechi would provide the Pittodrie club with a different dimension if he signs.

 

"He is the type of player that we haven't got," said Vernon. "He can play as a winger and dribbles a bit more than the players we have.

 

"He has good feet and good skills and I'm sure he will be a good addition if he stays."

 

To be honest I'd rather we were giving Chalali a run in the team.

Fat postie tweeting that it's a done deal.

The same person who said Saturdays game v Dunfermline was a 1-1 draw.....

 

ha ha i was reading the EE and laughing at that classic from them. The Quality Control wasn't doing their jobs on that one ha ha.

 

I've yet to see Charlie Allan come away with an exclusive on Twitter yet. He has obviously upset those at the club so doesn't get any info these days. Liam McLeod seems to have one or two well was first with Considine re-signing.

According to reports elsewhere he played the full ninety minutes of a bounce game against ICT earlier today and looked impressive.

 

Also apparently The Dazzler staked a claim for a new contract with a goal.

That'll be it for another six months or so though

I spotted the Inverness team bus on Golf Road earlier and wondered what it was doing here.

Aberdeen fans - Daniel Uchechi has now completed his move to Pittodrie until the end of the season. The Dons have the option of keeping the Nigerian for a further two years. He had spells at Charlton and West Ham.

Aberdeen say that's them done now in the transfer window. They've also brought in Stephen Hughes, Gavin Rae, Russell Anderson and Mark Reynolds.

Well i'm certainly happier with the squad than i was before.  No one has left though, where has the money come for this?

Money for Foster?

no money involved. he's on loan with an option to sign. as in, he's on loan.

I think he means wages

Must be money involved. Lad was still contracted to his club so we are either paying his wages or have paid a loan fee to his club.

ok wages sorry. assumed you meant fee tlg.

 

picture on the website is in daylight. Either they take pics before deals are done, so players can go home while the grown ups negotiate the deal, or the club kept us hanging on for confirmation until just over an hour before the deadline to tell us the transfer activity was over, rather than have us wonder if we'd consider SIGNING A FUCKING FULL BACK.

 

Maybe I'm just cynical. either way i'm still relieved we haven't signed the "guinean roberto carlos"

 

although wait..."the next carlos tevez" isn't really much more encouraging!

 

still, welcome aboard! hopefully an adequate replacement for bebo and hopefully him and chalali can compliment crespo well.

Think the deal was signed and sealed this afternoon, hence the picture in daylight, but the Nigerian FA were holding up the registration and presumably we wouldn't confirm deal as being done until suchtime as this was concluded

Also the cash we received for Grimmer
