Top division Swiss side Lausanne Sport have completed the loan signing of 26 year old Nigeria international forward Samuel Kalu from English Championship side Watford, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Kalu was deemed surplus to requirements by the English Championship side alongside his international teammate Maduka Okoye, who has since joined Italian Serie A side Udinese.
Since moving to Watford from French Ligue 1 side Bordeaux, he has struggled for form and also had to battle several niggling injuries as well as fitness issues , and it limited him to just 13 matches in his almost two years stay at the club.
The club was keen on offloading him permanently before the close of the transfer window but received no offer for his services, until the Swiss side came with a loan offer as their own transfer window is still open.
He will be hoping for better fortune at the club to help put his career back on track both at club and national team level. He last played for Nigeria in 2021, he earned his 10th cap in the game against Central Africa Republic (CAR) which Nigeria lost 0-1 in Lagos.
