The Lithuanian champions have announced the signing of Nigerian midfielder Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu. The agreement was reportedly structured under a “1+1” principle. According to Spanish journalist Chema de Lucas, the club, identified as “Žalgiris,” will compensate the player for the high-jumper, who is frequently referred to by the press as Kao.
The 26-year-old player, who measures 205 cm, spent the previous season with Manresa BAXI in the Spanish ACB league. During his tenure, he maintained notable statistics, averaging 4.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game. Furthermore, his performance included blocking an average of 1.6 shots per game.
This acquisition strengthens the roster of the Lithuanian team. The transfer details suggest a direct exchange, with the club using the value derived from the high-jumper to secure Akobundu-Ehiogu. The player’s experience in the competitive Spanish league is expected to contribute to the team’s overall performance, particularly in areas requiring consistent scoring and rebounding, as evidenced by his previous output of points and board control.
