<br>Collins Edwin Sports Club have confirmed the permanent transfer of their former winger, Light Eke, to Latvian top‑flight side Riga FC, . The [exciting](https://wiki.arbyten.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:EricBuss6331092) youngster, known for his [electrifying pace](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/football-history/mikel-leads-nigerian-earnings-ranks-6th-in-africa-richest-footballers/) and flair on the wings, previously represented Nigeria at U17 level and is considered one of the most promising graduates of the club’s academy.
<br>
<br>The Lagos-based club expressed appreciation to Riga FC, intermediary partners C&amp;S_FS, and all stakeholders who made the deal possible. In a statement, Collins Edwin SC said:

<br>"We thank the management of both clubs, including C&amp;S_FS and everyone that worked hard to make this deal come through. We’re confident he will light up the Virslīga. Once a Gladiator, forever a Gladiator. We wish you all the very best for the future. Congratulations!"

<br>Eke has openly declared his ambition to become a Super Eagles regular and to win every major honour available at club and international levels. His move to Riga FC marks a significant step in his career, and will watch closely as he embarks on his European journey with confidence and determination.

<br>Editorial
<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>We celebrate Light Eke’s transfer to Riga FC as a milestone not just for him, but for grassroots development in Nigeria. A product of the Collins Edwin SC academy, Eke’s move underscores the value of nurturing home-grown talent with the ambition to compete globally.

<br>We believe his style raw speed, [dribbling](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/nigerias-all-time-top-10-super-eagles-goal-scorers/) ingenuity, and an eye for goal will thrive in the Latvian Virslīga, a league that has become a testing ground for emerging African stars seeking exposure in Europe. Riga FC’s faith in Eke speaks volumes about the quality of Nigeria’s youth pipeline.

<br>This transfer is also a win for Collins Edwin SC, a club with a track record of producing players ready for professional careers abroad. Their collaboration with intermediaries like C&amp;S_[FS illustrates](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/sports-betting/casino-games/aviator-game/) how strategic partnerships can shape the future of young players.
<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>We are convinced that if Eke seizes this moment, Riga FC will be the beginning of an illustrious European career, potentially opening the door for Super Eagles selection. For [Nigerian](https://cac5.altervista.org/index.php?title=Utente:LarryBenavidez) football, this is proof that ambition, talent, and good management can propel our players onto the [global stage](http://jacqueshigelin.com/index.php?title=User:AnnmarieOShanass).
