Novembro Signs Kanu

Brazilian outfit Esporte Clube XV de Novembro have reinforced their offensive ranks with the signing of Nigerian forward Henry Austine Ugochukwu, otherwise called Henry Kanu, on loan from rivals Londrina.


The 23- year - old has started training under the guidance of manager Carlos Alberto Soave.

Henry Kanu had spells with the youth teams of Espanyol and Hertha Berlin before signing a pro deal with Clube Atlético Juventus.

He is nicknamed Kanu due to the exploits of retired Nigeria international Nwankwo Kanu against the Brazilian Under 23s at the 1996 Olympic Games.

Apart from those teams listed above, he previously defended the colours of Rosemary -RN , Horizonte -CE, Central -PE , Guarani -CE, Icasa.

Born in Lagos, he could make his official debut for his new employer when the Copa Paulista starts in July.
