Newly promoted Ukrainian Premier League club FC Polissya Zhytomyr have announced the capture of Flying Eagles goalkeeper, Chijoke Aniagboso.

Multiple reports say the 19-year-old goalkeeper has put pen to paper on a five-year deal that will keep him at Polissya Zhytomyr until the end of the 2027/28 season.

Polissya Zhytomyr were crowned champions of the Persha Liha at the weekend following a 2-1 win over LNZ Cherkasy.

“The 19-year-old goalkeeper is a bronze medalist of the 2023 U-20 African Cup of Nations. He was involved in six games at the tournament and also currently represents his country at the U-20 World Cup. Aniagboso will arrive before the 2023/24 season preparation,” the club confirmed on its website.

Aniagboso has gone the distance in every single game played by the Flying Eagles at the ongoing U-20 World Cup, posting a clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Italy, while conceding three goals.

The 19-year-old shone at the 2023 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, where he posted four clean sheets in five games.

He was a shock inclusion in the Super Eagles’ 23-man squad for Nigeria’s 2023 AFCON qualifying double-header against Guinea-Bissau last March. He was an unused substitute in both games.

With a squad currently made of Ukrainians, Polissya Zhytomyr have been scouting at the ongoing U-20 World Cup in Argentina, having previously announced the signing of Gambia U-20 defender, Moses Jarjue, who penned a pre-contract with the Ukrainian club and will join them July 1.
