Awaziem: Nigeria defender joins Boavista from FC Porto

Portuguese Primera Liga side Boavista have signed Chidozie Awaziem from FC Porto.

The 23-year-old Nigeria international will be having his second stint with a Portuguese club having started out with Porto as a youth player in 2014 before graduating to the senior team in 2016.

His last bit of action with the Portuguese giants came that year and has since spent time on loan with various clubs. His most recent loan stint was with Leganes in La Liga.

Awaziem played 26 times for the Madrid-based club, forming a defensive partnership with his Super Eagle teammate and former Chelsea centre-back Kenneth Omeruo.
