Wednesday, March 13, 2013Omoba
Nigeria striker Obafemi Martins has expressed his
relief at completing his protracted move from Levante to Seattle Sounders after
an administrative delay. The 28-year-old announced he would join the Major
League Soccer side last month but was held up by his Spanish club.
Sounders have now paid the 3m euros [about $4
million] to trigger Martins' get-out clause after lengthy negotiations with
Levante.
"Wow, finally I can now announce that I have
just signed for Sounders FC. A big step to take in my career. It's a big
challenge but I'm ready," Martins tweeted on Monday evening.
"I look forward to this new era in my
career...I also look forward to meet my new team mates and the Sounders FC
fans, my new family.
"God bless you all, I appreciate all your love, support and well wishes." He also thanked his fans at Levante.
