In a strategic move to bolster their attacking options, CA Osasuna has secured the services of Nigerian forward Sixtus Ogbuehi on loan from CD Eldense. The agreement, which extends until the end of the current season, includes an option for Osasuna to make the transfer permanent.
Born on March 15, 2003, in Owerri, Nigeria, Sixtus Ogbuehi is a 21-year-old forward known for his physical prowess and aerial ability. Standing at 1.92 meters, he began his football journey with Campos FC in Nigeria before moving to Spain, where he played for clubs including Moralo CP and Montehermoso CP. His impressive performances, particularly in the Tercera Federación where he netted 18 goals last season, caught the attention of CD Eldense, a Segunda División side.
Ogbuehi joined CD Eldense in July 2024, signing a three-year contract. Despite his potential, he found limited playing time, making six appearances in the current season. Seeking more opportunities, Ogbuehi and Eldense agreed to a loan move to CA Osasuna, where he will initially join Osasuna Promesas, the club’s B team competing in the Primera Federación. This move aims to provide him with the platform to showcase his talent and potentially secure a permanent transfer.
CA Osasuna has a rich history of nurturing young talents and integrating them into top-tier football. The acquisition of Ogbuehi aligns with the club’s philosophy of identifying and developing promising players. The inclusion of a purchase option in the loan agreement underscores Osasuna’s belief in Ogbuehi’s potential to contribute significantly to the team’s future success.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the move, Ogbuehi stated, “Joining Osasuna is a significant step in my career. I am eager to contribute to the team’s objectives and demonstrate my capabilities on the field. This opportunity motivates me to work harder and achieve new heights.”
As Ogbuehi integrates into Osasuna Promesas, fans and analysts alike will be keen to observe his development and impact. His journey reflects the increasing presence and influence of Nigerian players in European football, highlighting the nation’s growing reputation as a talent hub.
