Super Eagles defender Tyronne Ebuehi has joined Dutch Club Fc Twente on Loan from Portuguese Club Benfica, with an option to make the deal permanent by the end of the season.
Ebuehi has struggled at Benfica since he recovered from a cruciate ligament injury and was looking for a new challenge to reignite his career after he suffered a blip due to a cruciate ligament injury he sustained just before the 2018/2019 season.
Although he has since recovered from the injury, the 24-year-old fullback was not able to get the look at Benfica where he is yet to feature for the senior team. After his recovery, he was with the Benfica B team and managed just six appearances this season.
Tyronne Ebuehi: “It feels great to be here at FC Twente. The conversations I had with the club were very positive and I am looking forward to playing here. In the past I played against FC Twente with ADO. Twente is a big club and I want to prove myself here, but of course also help the club. “
In the summer of 2018, Tyronne Ebuehi moved from ADO Den Haag to Benfica. Before that, he played in the youth of the club from The Hague and at HFC EDO. Ebuehi, born in Haarlem, made his debut for the national team of Nigeria in 2017 and has played seven international matches so far. He played 78 games in the Eredivisie.
