Swiss-Nigerian keeper pens new deal with Swiss club

Swiss-Nigerian Sebastian Osigwe has penned a new deal with Switzerland club SC Kriens which will keep him until the summer of 2020, SportingLife.ng has gathered.

The 25-year-old, who is the most capped Nigerian goalkeeper in Europe for the past three seasons with over 100 appearances, was monitored for a while by Super Eagles Coach Genort Rohr for a possible invitation before the release of his provisional 25- man squad for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Sebastian was drawing interest from top clubs in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy but SC Kriens moved swiftly with a new improved deal that will see the player stay at the Swiss club.

‘I’m delighted to sign a new deal at the club,’ Sebastian revealed. ‘I want to continue to help SC Kriens push for
promotion next season and bring joy to the fans.’
