22-year-old speedster inks contract until 2030 after stellar season in Ukraine.

Prosper Obah signs with FC Shakhtar Donetsk

FC Shakhtar Donetsk has secured the signature of Nigerian sensation Prosper Obah, confirming the 22-year-old winger’s long-term move from LNZ Cherkasy in the Ukrainian Premier League.

Obah, who joined Shakhtar on a contract running until December 31, 2030, has quickly made a name for himself in Ukraine. In his debut season at LNZ Cherkasy—after moving from Portuguese side FC Vizela—he scored 7 goals and provided 4 assists in 15 league appearances, showcasing his pace, skill, and eye for goal.

A product of Nigeria’s Supreme Kings Academy, Obah honed his craft in Portugal before making his mark in Ukraine. His arrival at Shakhtar Donetsk, a club renowned for nurturing elite talent and exporting players to Europe’s top leagues, adds firepower to the squad as they aim to challenge domestically and in European competitions.

Shakhtar has a strong history of developing Nigerian talent, including Super Eagles legend Julius Aghahowa, and Obah now joins that proud legacy with the ambition to make an immediate impact.

With his speed, technical ability, and proven goal-scoring record, Obah is set to be a key figure in Shakhtar’s push for success this season and beyond.
