Danish Giants Copenhagen Sign Nigerian Midfielder Mukairu

Danish top flight side F.C. Copenhagen have signed Nigerian midfielder Paul Mukairu from Turkish club Antalyaspor on a contract until the end of 2025.

Copenhagen confirmed Mukairu‘s signing in a statement on their official website.

Speaking on his recent move, the 22-year-old told the club’s website:”I am very proud and humbled that F.C. Copenhagen have given me this opportunity, which I will do everything to seize.

“This is a big club with big ambitions that I want to work hard to fulfil with the team. I’ve seen a lot of videos from recent matches, and I’m especially looking forward to experiencing Parken and the atmosphere there.

“At first, a lot of hard work awaits me to integrate into the team and get to know a new style and my teammates, but I’m really excited and can’t wait to get out and start training.”

Copenhagen sports director Peter Christiansen said:”Paul fulfills the need we have had for a winger, because his speed and one-on-one abilities give us more options and new opportunities in attack.

“Paul has already spent part of his career in Turkey, while his stint at Anderlecht was in a league that can be compared to some extent to ours.

“In a good and professional environment in Belgium, he took some big steps in his development and proved that he can play under the pressure that comes at such a big club, and where the pressure of expectations is similar to that at F.C. Copenhagen.

“We are very much looking forward to getting Paul on board and seeing him contribute here in Copenhagen. Now we have a number of interesting players and options for the wings, and it’s now up to Jess Thorup and the staff to decide on selection.”

Mukairu played 53 games for Antalyaspor, scoring eight goals. He was selected for 29 matches during his time at Anderlecht, and scored four goals and provided four assists in Belgium.

He is deployed primarily as a winger, where he has played both on the right and left flanks, and he has also appeared as a central striker.

    Going from Turkey to Denmark looks like a demotion to me. But what do I know

    • Turkey is only one place higher than Denmark in the UEFA Coefficients (ranking).
      He’s going from a team in the relegation zone to one that is second in the table. Possible UEFA competition next season (Champions League/Europa League)

    As good as they come, they should all be given an opportunity to prove themselves. I would suggest that Mukairu be invited for the game against the Black Stars.
