Transfer Update: David Okereke Returns To Serie A Sampson Adedeji After deliberations and discussions, newly promoted Italian Serie A club Venezia FC have completed the loan signing of Nigeria International and Club Brugge forward David Okereke, BSNsports.com.ng can report. Okereke came through the youth academy at Spezia before ultimately reaching the first team and making his professional debut in April 2016. After three seasons of increasing experience and progress, including a half-season loan at Cosenza, Okereke had a breakout season with Spezia in 2018/19, leading the team with 10 goals and 12 assists in Serie B. Okereke’s form at Spezia prompted a move to Club Brugge in July 2019. In his first season with the club, Okereke made 22 appearances (13 starts) and scored nine goals to help Club Brugge win the Belgian league, while also making eight appearances in the UEFA Champions League and one appearance in the UEFA Europa League Round of 32. Last season, Okereke made 30 appearances (eight starts) and scored four goals in the domestic competition as Club Brugge won the league and cup double, while also making five appearances in the team’s European campaign, which again started in the Champions League and ended in the Europa League Round of 32. Okereke joined Nigeria's Super Eagles defender Tyrone Ebuehi who is also loan to the club from the Primera Liga club SL Benfica at Venezia.
