Football giants, SV Transvaal, have officially signed Nigerian forward Ademola Kuti, marking a historic milestone as he becomes the first Nigerian and African player to join the club.
Renowned for his pace, strength, and sharp goal-scoring instincts, Kuti joins the Surinamese powerhouse on a two-year deal, bringing international experience and attacking flair to the team’s lineup.
The move signifies a major step for both Kuti and SV Transvaal as they look to strengthen their squad and expand their international presence in South American football.
In a remarkable twist, Kuti once played under the late Diego Maradona during his time in the Dubai First Division — making him the only Nigerian footballer to have ever been coached by the Argentine legend.
The 27-year-old striker has previously featured for several notable clubs, including:
Accra Hearts of Oak 🇬🇭 – Ghanaian and African powerhouse
Lobi Stars FC 🇳🇬 – NPFL top side
Punjab FC 🇮🇳 – Indian Super League contenders
DC Virunga 🇨🇩 – DR Congo top-flight club
Al-Fujairah FC 🇦🇪 – UAE second-tier team
AS SONIDEP 🇳🇪 – Niger Premier League champions
SV Transvaal fans are already buzzing, expecting Kuti to add serious firepower to the team’s attack as the new season kicks off.
“This is a big step for me, and I’m ready to give everything for the club,” Kuti said after signing.
With his proven goal-scoring instincts and global experience, Ademola Kuti is set to light up Surinamese football.
