Taye Taiwo Joins HJK Helsinki for New Chapter in Finland
Nigerian international Taye Taiwo has embarked on a fresh chapter in his football career, signing a one-year contract with HJK Helsinki in Finland. The move marks a new adventure for the experienced left-back, who spent the last two seasons playing in the Turkish Super League.
Taiwo, 30, is best known for his time with Olympique de Marseille, where he spent several successful years before spells in Italy, England, Ukraine, and Türkiye. His transfer to Finland’s most decorated club signals both a new challenge and a chance to bring his wealth of experience to the Veikkausliiga.
HJK Helsinki, who are in pursuit of domestic and European success, will be hoping the veteran defender can bolster their backline and provide leadership both on and off the pitch.
