Albanian club Partizani Tirana have completed the signing of Nigerian midfielder Kazeem Ogunleye on a four-year contract.
The former Rangers player joins the Superliga side after successfully passing his medical, further strengthening the squad ahead of the season’s crucial phase.
Ogunleye’s impact at Rangers
Ogunleye was a key figure for Rangers last season, contributing significantly to the team’s performances.
In 15 league appearances, he registered one goal and three assists, proving his ability to influence play from midfield.
His creativity and technical skills will now be put to use in Albania as he embarks on a new challenge in European football.
Growing Nigerian presence at Partizani
The arrival of Ogunleye increases the Nigerian contingent at Partizani to two, as he joins fellow countryman Blessing Eleke in the squad.
Eleke, a forward, has already made an impact at the club, and Ogunleye’s signing adds further depth to the team’s attacking and midfield options.
Strengthening for domestic and European ambitions
Partizani Tirana, one of Albania’s most successful clubs, are constantly seeking reinforcements to maintain their competitiveness both domestically and in European competitions.
The signing of Ogunleye is seen as a strategic move to bolster their midfield and enhance their squad depth as they push for silverware.
A new chapter for Ogunleye
Moving to Europe represents a significant step in Ogunleye’s career.
The Albanian Superliga provides a platform for young talents to develop and gain exposure, with many players using it as a stepping stone to top European leagues.
The Nigerian midfielder will now look to establish himself in Partizani’s starting lineup and contribute to their pursuit of league success.
With this latest acquisition, Partizani Tirana continue their strategy of scouting and securing emerging talent, and all eyes will be on Ogunleye to see how he adapts to his new environment and impacts the team’s performances.
