Getafe CF signs Uche Chrisantus from AD Ceuta

Spanish La Liga side Getafe CF has officially signed 21-year-old Super Eagles-eligible star Uche Chrisantus from AD Ceuta. SportsRation reports.

Chrisantus has signed a four-year contract with Getafe, securing his stay at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez Stadium until June 30, 2028.

The club confirmed the signing on their social media platforms, announcing:

“Getafe CF and AD Ceuta FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of Chrisantus Uche. The 21-year-old Nigerian footballer has signed with the club until 30 June 2028 and will spend the next four seasons in the blue and white jersey,” the statement on Getafe’s official website read.

Chrisantus, who has been with AD Ceuta for two years since moving from Nigeria, earned a reputation in the Primera RFEF. He is set to join Getafe’s first team for preseason training, where he will compete for a spot in the squad.

Reflecting on his time at AD Ceuta, Chrisantus expressed heartfelt gratitude on Instagram:

“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my coaches and colleagues for their unwavering support and guidance throughout my journey. I also want to thank the fans for their constant encouragement and love. It has been an incredible experience and I will cherish the memories forever. Farewell, my dear coaches, colleagues, and fans. Forever Ceuta.”

Chrisantus’ journey has been remarkable, progressing from Nigeria’s U23 team to establishing himself in Spanish football. His signing makes him the third Nigerian to join Getafe, following Peter Etebo’s move from Stoke City in 2020 and Ikechukwu Uche’s tenure from 2007 to 2009.

The young forward will now look to make his mark in La Liga, contributing to Getafe’s ambitions in the upcoming seasons.
