Former home-based Eagles’ winger, Sunday Faleye has revealed how excited he is to join a new club in Eastern Europe, after he signed a three-year contract with Czech club FK Dukla Praha after he was released by Austrian side FC Wacker Innsbruck.
The 22-year-old striker has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half-year deal with FK Dukla Prague, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2023-2024 season.
Megasportsarena.com reports that the product of Shooting Stars, FK Dukla Prague are his third European club following spells at SCR Altach II and Wacker Innsbruck.
Speaking after signing the contract, Faleye told Dukla Prague’s official website : “I am excited to have become a part of Dukla. I will try to do my best on the field and help the team to get as many points as possible”.
Faleye was a member of the Dream Team VII squad to the 2019 U23 Africa Cup of Nations, coming off the bench in the three group matches played by the national team, and helped Nigeria reach the final of the 2018 African Nations Championship.
The crafty winger, who got 34 appearances for Wacker Innsbruck and scored four goals, is now thinking of lifting Dukla, who were relegated from the top league in Czech Republic two years ago, but they hope the former home-based Eagles star will fire them back to the top.
Faleye declared after signing the dotted lines that he is ready to help his new team achieve their ambitions, adding: “I am excited to have become a part of Dukla. I will try to do my best on the field and help the team to get as many points as possible.”
The Prague-based club’s sports director, Jan Stanek added: “I am very happy that we managed to get our first target. We count a lot on Sunday; he increases our danger in attack.
“He is very strong one on one and mainly seeks out these situations. Most teams defend against us, so we need players who can give us an advantage.”
