Official: Nigerian Striker Ends Seven-Year Association With Italian Champions Juventus
Published: September 20, 2018Promising Nigerian striker King Udoh has ended his seven-year association with Juventus after joining Viareggio 2014 in Serie D, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
The future of Udoh was the subject of speculation in the summer transfer window with reports linking him with moves to clubs in Ukraine, Luxembourg and Portugal but he has stayed put in Italy as previously suggested by this website.
Last season, the attacker wore the jerseys of Fermana and Fano and also spent time on loan at Pontedera and Lanciano during his time at Juventus to enable him play on a regular basis after failing to break into the first team.
Born in Reggio Emilia, Italy, Udoh began his career at Reggiana before switching to the Bianconeri in 2011.
The 21-year-old departs Turin without making his debut for Juventus and is credited with 13 goals in 38 appearances for their youth team in the Primavera.
Viareggio 2014 lost 2-0 to San Donato Tavarnelle in their opening match in the Serie D and travel to Ghivizzano Borgo Mozzano in their next fixture this Sunday.
