Igoh Ogbu Shuts Down Transfer Rumors, Commits Future to Slavia Prague
Super Eagles defender Igoh Ogbu has officially debunked reports linking him with a move away from Slavia Prague, insisting he remains fully committed to the Czech champions ahead of the new season.
The 25-year-old centre-back was instrumental in Slavia Prague’s 2023/24 Czech Super League title triumph, and has since emerged as one of the most consistent and promising defenders in European football.
Despite growing speculation about potential interest from clubs across Europe, Ogbu made his position crystal clear in an interview with Flashscore:
“I recently signed a new contract with Slavia Prague, which runs until 2027. For me, the future is now and it has already begun. My focus is fully on performing in the league and the Champions League. After that, we’ll see what the future holds.”

Ogbu’s form last season didn’t go unnoticed on the international stage. He earned his first Super Eagles call-up for Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe and later made his senior debut against Ghana in May.
Born in Nigeria and raised through a tough but inspiring football journey that took him from Lillestrøm in Norway to the heart of Prague, Ogbu represents the new generation of Super Eagles stars with European grit and Nigerian pride.
