Nigerian striker
Ikechukwu Uche has announced an agreement to play for Mexican club Tigres UANL.
Uche, 31,
announced via his official Twitter account that he had reached an agreement to
play with the Liga MX side.
Tigres are
three-time champions of the Mexican top division and are looking to strengthen
their attack as they hope to challenge for the league title.
They are
also in the semi finals of the South American Copa Libertadores where they will
play against Brazilian side Internacional of Porto Alegre in July. Their hope
is to become the first Mexican side to win the title.
The
Monterrey-based side, that plays at the 43,000 capacity Estadio Universitario
San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, also signed French forward Andre-Pierre
Gignac from Marseille during the week.
Uche moves
from Spanish side Villareal, where he scored 34 goals in three seasons, to the
Mexican club. He has previously played for Recreativo Huelva, Getafe, Real
Zaragoza and Granada and won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria.
The details
of the contract have yet to be made known to the media.
