Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika has completed a long-anticipated move to Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, becoming the sixth Nigerian to represent the German club and following in the footsteps of legendary captain Austin Okocha.
The 25-year-old sealed his transfer from Belgian champions Club Brugge, signing a five-year contract that will keep him at Deutsche Bank Park until June 2031. He has been handed the No. 25 shirt as he begins a new chapter in Germany.
Onyedika joins an exclusive list of Nigerians to have featured for Frankfurt, including Austin Okocha, Henry Isaac, Donald Agu, Nduka Anyanwu, and Isaac Ojigwe.
The move rewards the midfielder’s steady rise in European football, having established himself as one of Brugge’s most influential players over the past three seasons.
During his time in Belgium, Onyedika lifted two Belgian league titles, the Belgian Cup, and the Belgian Super Cup, adding to the Danish Cup he previously won with FC Midtjylland during the early stages of his professional career.
