Ejuke scores first Sevilla goal as Super Eagles winger marks LaLiga return
Super Eagles winger Chidera Ejuke scored his first goal of the season for Sevilla, coming off the bench to net the second goal in their 3-1 LaLiga victory over Athletic Club at San Mamés on Saturday. The goal secured Sevilla's back-to-back wins, giving them a perfect six-point start to the new campaign.
Ejuke's goal was particularly significant given the uncertainty surrounding his future during pre-season. He had been left out of Sevilla's training camp in the Netherlands as the club explored transfer options, training separately before reintegrating with the squad ahead of the league opener.
His performance signals a potential turning point after a difficult summer, with Ejuke emphasizing his priority remains being available to help the team whenever called upon. 'I always try to be available to help the team in any way I can,' he told Sevilla's website after the match.
For Nigerian football fans, this goal represents positive news about a Super Eagles player contributing meaningfully in one of Europe's top leagues, especially after questions about his Sevilla future earlier this summer.
Will this performance cement Ejuke's place in Sevilla's plans moving forward, or will he continue to fight for consistent playing time under manager Luis García Plaza?
