Nigerian defender Kingsley Ehizibue completes Udinese to Genoa transfer ahead of 2026/27 season

Nigerian defender Kingsley Ehizibue has completed a move to Serie A club Genoa from fellow Serie A side Udinese, ending his four-year stay with the club ahead of the 2026/27 season according to DAILY POST. The 31-year-old right-back joined Udinese from Bundesliga outfit FC Cologne in 2022 and made 119 appearances for the club.

During his Udinese career, Ehizibue registered four goals and two assists across all competitions. He began his professional career in the Netherlands with PEC Zwolle. This transfer maintains Nigeria's representation in Serie A and offers the defender a fresh challenge with Genoa.

Ehizibue is expected to report for training with his new teammates in the coming days as Genoa prepares for the upcoming season. While financial terms of the transfer weren't specified in the DAILY POST report, his statistics suggest he provides experienced depth to the Genoa backline.

Will this transfer to Genoa allow Kingsley Ehizibue to secure a more regular starting role and contribute consistently compared to his rotation status at Udinese?
