Wolfsberger AC presented a new signing for the defense on Wednesday: Emmanuel Chukwu is moving to the Lavanttal. The 18-year-old Nigerian is coming on loan until the end of the season from German Bundesliga club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim to Carinthia.

What happened?

The defender had only moved from his home country to Sinsheim in February, but did not make any appearances in the spring. Chukwu last participated in the Africa Cup with the Nigerian U20 team in May, where the Super Eagles finished third.

Why is this important for Wolfsberger AC?

The new signing of Chukwu is an important step for the cup winner Wolfsberger AC to strengthen the defense. The 18-year-old brings fresh energy and new impulses to the team.

What comes next?

Wolfsberger AC will try to integrate Chukwu into the team in the next few weeks and months. The Nigerian will play in the Lavanttal until the end of the season and hopes to recommend himself for the future.
