Indian Super League team Delhi Dynamos have roped in Nigerian forward Kalu Uche as their fourth foreign signing for the upcoming season. This will be his second stint in the ISL after playing for FC Pune City way back in 2015, where he scored four goals in 11 matches. The former striker last played for Spanish second division side UD Almeria.
The striker has previously represented the likes of Levante, Espanyol in Spanish La Liga and Bordeaux in the French Ligue 1. He has also scored 5 times for Nigeria in 36 appearances, including 2 goals in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Kalu began his career with Nigerian side Enyimba International before moving to Wisla Krakow in Poland. He won the division title thrice and the Polish Cup on two occasions. Kalu then went onto represent Almeria for 6 seasons, helping the side achieve promotion to the Spanish top division. The veteran forward has also had short spells in Turkey with Kasimpasa and in Qatar with El Jaish and Al Rayyan.
“I am happy to welcome Kalu to the Delhi Dynamos squad this year. Kalu brings a lot of experience to the team having played for Nigerian national team, has had over 175 appearances for Almeria, as well as having played in the ISL in 2015. He will bring toughness both mentally and physically to the team and I look forward to seeing him make a mark on the ISL this year,” said Delhi Dynamos Director Rohan Sharma.
