Adarabioyo leads the list of Nigeria-eligible players who changed clubs on deadline day

SEVERAL Nigeria-eligible players completed moves to new clubs on the last day of the transfer window yesterday in a development which Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle will no doubt be closely monitoring.

At 11pm last night, the Rnglish summer transfer window closed, with Tosin Adarabioyo, Jayden Meghoma, Honest Ahanor, Daniel Oyegoke,  Kevin Zeroli, Ayodele Thomas, Oluwaseun Ogbemudia, Tim Iroegbunam and David Ozoh all completing moves to new clubs. Adarabioyo made the short journey from Chelsea to Tottenham Hotspur, signing a permanent deal with the north London club after making 70 appearances for the Blues in all competitions.

Brentford left-back Meghoma has joined Championship side Portsmouth on a season-long loan deal, his third loan stint away from the Bees, after previous spells at Preston North End and Rangers. Another player with a Brentford connection, Oyegoke completed a permanent transfer to Lincoln City from Serie B side Hellas Verona, where he spent 18 months.

Nigeria Football Federation target Ahanor will be spending the entirety of the season on loan at Crystal Palace. Super Eagles hopeful Ozoh has ended his 13-year association with Crystal Palace after signing a five-year deal with Derby County, marking his third spell with the club.

Semi Ajayi has a new Nigerian teammate at ambitious Premier League newcomers Hull City, following the club's capture of Tim Iroegbunam from Everton. Iroegbunam, 23,  has signed a five-year contract with the Tigers, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2031.

Elsewhere, Ayodele Thomas has left Leipzig to join NEC Nijmegen on a permanent deal, while Oluwaseun Ogbemudia has joined third-tier club SV Waldhof Mannheim 07 on loan from Union Berlin. Italian giants AC Milan have loaned out Kevin Zeroli to Südtirol, with an option to acquire him permanently included in the agreement.
