Danish top-flight side F.C. Copenhagen has 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 has 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 excited and can’t wait to get out and start training.”

“We are very much looking forward to getting Paul on board and seeing him contribute here in Copenhagen. Now we have several 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, 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.
