The 31-year-old joins Chennaiyin on a free transfer after the expiry of his contract with Finland second division outfit FC Haka.<\/p>\n
Dudu has played in both seasons of the ISL – FC Pune City (2014) and FC Goa (2015) – and is joint sixth in the all-time highest scorers of the competition with seven goals in 15 starts.<\/p>\n
The Nigerian is also one of seven players to have scored a hattrick in the ISL with his treble coming in FC Goa’s record 7-0 victory over Mumbai City FC last year.<\/p>\n
Even before ISL, Dudu had plenty of experience playing in India with stints at Sporting Clube de Goa, Dempo and Salgaocar.<\/p>\n
In Europe, he has had spells in the top tiers of Poland, Hungary and Finland. During his time with Hungary’s Debrecen he also played in the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n
Dudu, who has also played for both Kolkata giants East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, joined FC Haka in the Finland second tier after helping FC Goa finish runners-up in ISL 2015. He scored 6 goals in 13 appearances for FC Haka.<\/p>\n
“Dudu is a player I have admired from the very first season of the ISL. His quality and experience in front of goal further strengthens our attack,” said Chennaiyin FC manager Marco Materazzi.<\/p>\n
“I am delighted to join champions Chennaiyin FC and would like to thank the club and especially the legendary Materazzi for putting faith in me. India is like a second home for me and I have always enjoyed playing and staying there. I am looking forward to this new project with Chennaiyin FC and will give my very best to help them keep the trophy in Chennai,” Dudu stated.<\/p>\n
