Freshly invited Super Eagles forward Chidera Ejuke is yet to find his feet in the Russian League where he has been handed a new role at CSKA Moscow.
The 22 year old played as the top striker once again yesterday as CSKA Moscow slumped to a 0-1 defeat to Locomotive Moscow. He struggles to make an impression and that led to his substitution.
Ejuke was subbed off after 77 minutes and for the period he was on he wasn’t at his best just like it was in the game against Ufa.
Although he has scored once, it’s worthy to note that he did that in his second game while playing from the flanks. Same position that made him a big hit in Norway with Valerenga and later in Holland with Heerenveen.
Playing as a top striker means he won’t be able to use his pace, dribbling abilities in one on one situation and both traits are the strength of his game right from his formative years as a young footballer.
