After failing to tie down regular playing time with Ukrainian outfit
Dnipro, the Super Eagles’ winger has joined the Moroccan topflight side.
Three-time Caf Champions League champions Raja Casablanca have
completed the signing of Nigeria international Michael Babatunde from
Ukrainian side FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk on a three-and-half year deal.
The 23-year-old left winger had joined the 2014/2015 Europa League
runners-up from FC Volyn Lutsk, but was unable to get regular player
time as he featured only twice under manager Myron Markevych.
Michael who was on parade for the Super Eagles at the 2014 Fifa World
Cup would hope to revive his fading career with a move to the Stade
Mohamed V and has been handed the no. 10 jersey.
He will compete with Mahmoud Benhalib, Mohammed Yakubu, Yassine
Faqhaoui and compatriot Christian Osaguona for a regular place under
coach Rachid Taoussi.
Raja Casablanca are 10th on the Botola Pro log with 18 points from 15 games.
