Arriving in the final moments of the winter transfer window, Monaco left-back Elderson Echiejile was introduced to the press on Tuesday. Joining from Sporting Clube de Braga, the Nigerian expressed his delight at joining the club. He acknowledged the tough competition he faces with Layvin Kurzawa for a starting spot.
“I’m very happy to be back in France, especially at a prestigious club like Monaco. In a big club, you need two quality players in each position to provide options for the coach. When I was at Rennes, I was younger. Now, returning after three and a half years, I’ve gained more experience and my French has improved,” he explained. This development will surely please coach Ranieri.
With Tunisian Aymen Abdennour also newly recruited, Echiejile may find opportunities in the next Ligue 1 match, particularly against PSG for the 25th day.
