David Oguejiofor completes transfer to Al Nassr in Saudi Pro League
The Saudi Pro League continues its bold evolution, and this time, Nigeria is firmly in the spotlight.
David Oguejiofor, a highly rated Nigerian midfielder, has officially completed a blockbuster move to Al Nassr, where he will line up alongside global superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane. The transfer underlines Al Nassr’s growing strategy of blending world-renowned icons with elite emerging talent from Africa.
For Oguejiofor, the move marks a defining chapter in his young career — one that places him on one of the most visible football stages in the world.
Oguejiofor joins the Saudi giants from Simoiben Football Academy (Moses Simon Academy) in Kaduna, one of Nigeria’s most respected talent factories. The academy has already built a strong reputation for producing top prospects, including Super Eagles wonderkid Benjamin Fredrick.
Confirming the transfer via social media, Simoiben Football Academy expressed pride in their player’s journey and confidence in his future.
“We are proud to announce that we have successfully completed the transfer of our player, David Oguejiofor to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr FC. This is a huge opportunity to show the world his talent and we are certain he’ll do that greatly. All the best, David.”
The academy also celebrated the moment with a powerful message that has already begun circulating widely among Nigerian football fans:
“One of our own!! From Simoiben Football Academy to Al-Nassr. Remember the name, David Oguejiofor.”
Oguejiofor becomes the latest Nigerian player to embrace the Saudi football revolution, following in the footsteps of several African stars who have made the move to the Gulf in recent seasons. His signing further reinforces the Saudi Pro League’s ambition to position itself not just as a destination for established stars, but also as a proving ground for the next generation.
At Al Nassr, the Nigerian midfielder steps into a dressing room filled with elite experience. Training and competing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, and Sadio Mane, one of Africa’s greatest modern footballers, presents an invaluable learning environment.
Oguejiofor will be aiming to carve out a role in Al Nassr’s midfield as the club pushes for dominance in the Saudi Pro League and success in the AFC Champions League. The opportunity to develop under intense competition, world-class facilities, and global media attention could accelerate his growth significantly.
For Nigerian football, his move is another reminder of the depth of talent emerging from grassroots academies across the country — and proof that the global game is paying attention.
This is more than just a transfer.
It’s a statement.
