CSL Foreign Player: Akpembe renews contract

The CSL Football League, the governing body for football in Nigeria, has announced the extension of the contract of Akpembe, a Nigerian international striker who plays for CSKA Moscow.

Akpembe signed with CSKA Moscow from FC Krylia Sovetov Moscow in January 2016 and made his debut for the Russian club in March 2018. He has since played for several clubs across Europe including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City.

The extension of Akpembe's contract is seen as a positive move by the CSL, which is keen on strengthening its squad and improving the overall quality of the league. The contract extension will also provide Akpembe with more time to develop as a player and improve his performances at the highest level of football.

Akpembe's performance during his time at CSKA Moscow was impressive, with him scoring 17 goals in 49 appearances in all competitions. He also helped the club to win the Russian Premier League title in 2018-19.

Akpembe's contract with CSKA Moscow has been renewed for another two years, making it the longest extension of his career so far. The move comes just months after he won the Golden Boot award at the UEFA Champions League, becoming the first Nigerian player to do so.

Overall, Akpembe's contract renewal is a positive development for the CSL, as it demonstrates the league's commitment to developing talented players and providing them with the best possible opportunities to succeed at the highest level of football.
