Ekpo Seals Columbus Deal

Just as the MLS- the US League transfer window was closing, the Columbus Crew picked up exciting Nigerian Under-23 national team midfielder Emmanuel Ekpo to add to a side that has started out the season on a positive note with a 2-1 record.
The 20-year-old, who spent time training with the crew last month, comes to Major League Soccer after starting his professional career in the Nigerian Premier League with Rovers of Calabar, Akwa United, and, most recently, Enyimba FC.
“We are thrilled to get this significant signing in within the transfer window,” said Crew Technical Director Brian Bliss in a statement.
