Echiejile ready for new challenge at Standard Liege

By Akeem Lawal
Nigerian international, Elderson Echiejile is already looking forward to a new challenge in his football career with Standard Liege of Belgium.


The Super Eagles defender joined The Reds from AS Monaco on a season-long loan deal with an option to make it permanent after the deal expires on transfer deadline day on Wednesday night.

The 28 year old who is on international duty with the Nigeria national team took to his Twitter account on Thursday to thank Monaco fans for their support during his three and a half years stay at the principality club.

 “Happy to take up the new challenge at @Standard_RSCL and wish to thank @AS_Monaco and the fans for their support. #EUE3”, he said via‏@EldersonEch.

Echiejile who has 50 caps for Nigeria is also in line to feature for the Super Eagles against Tanzania in Saturday's 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo.
