CSKA Moscow Striker Aaron Samuel Explains Why He Chose Number 99 Kit
Published: January 29, 2017
Aaron Samuel has completed his move to Russian champs CSKA Moscow after putting pen to paper on a four-and-a-half-year deal that ties him to the club until the end of the 2020-2021 season.
For the remainder of the season, the former Sarpsborg 08 FF and Guangzhou R&F star will suit up with the number 99 jersey.
Explaining the rationale behind his choice, Samuel said to CSKA TV: “99 - that’s my favorite number, I played under it since childhood and always dreamed it is that I have.
“So I’m playing all my life under two nines - so it was in Norway, and in CSKA. So I had no doubt now is what number to choose.”
The 22-year-old striker joined CSKA Moscow at their training camp at Campoamor on Saturday.
