Suriname’s historic football powerhouse, SV Transvaal, has officially announced the signing of Nigerian forward Ademola Kuti on a two-year contract.
Kuti makes history as the first Nigerian and African player to join the Surinamese giants. Renowned for his pace, power, and clinical finishing, the prolific striker brings a wealth of international experience to his new club.
Remarkably, Kuti was once coached by the late Diego Maradona during his stint in the Dubai First Division—making him the only Nigerian footballer ever to have played under the legendary Argentine icon.
Throughout his career, Kuti has represented several notable clubs across Africa and Asia, including:
Accra Hearts of Oak 🇬🇠– One of Ghana’s and Africa’s most successful clubs
Lobi Stars FC 🇳🇬 – A respected side in the Nigerian Professional Football League
Punjab FC 🇮🇳 – Competing in India’s top football division
DC Virunga 🇨🇩 – A formidable team in the Congolese top flight
Al-Fujairah FC 🇦🇪 – the United Arab Emirates second-tier club say.
AS SONIDEP 🇳🇪 – A leading club in Niger’s Premier League
SV Transvaal supporters can expect an exciting attacking display as Kuti sets his sights on making a lasting impact in Suriname’s top flight.
