Gernot Rohr has his wish as TP Mazembe sign Nigerian youth international

The five-time CAF Champions League winners have confirmed that veteran Ivorian goalkeeper Sylvain Gbohouo will not continue at the club, paving the way for the capture of a young Nigerian prospect 

Democratic Republic of Congo champions Tout Puissant Mazembe have taken to their official website to announce the signing of former Golden Eaglets goalkeeper Shuaibu Suleman.

Shuaibu has signed a five-year contract that will keep him with the former African champions until the summer of 2016.

The young goalie replaces departing Ivory Coast shot-stopper Sylvain Gbohouo.

Gbohouo had been one of the elite goalkeepers at Mazembe since 2015. Still, the club decided against renewing the 32-year-old’s contract after claiming the league title at the end of the just-concluded season.

The most successful club in the history of DR Congo has decided to bring in 18-year-old Suleman instead.

The Nigerian youth international was recommended to the authorities at TP Mazembe by Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr, says the FootRDC.

Despite Gbohuo’s departure, Suleman is not expected to go straight in as TP Mazembe’s first choice goalie, as fellow new signing Baggio Siadi Ngusa would pose stiff competition. 

An imposing goalkeeper endowed with good reflexes and difficult to beat in the air, Suleman should, however, hold his own in Lubumbashi.

Suleman was a member of the Golden Eaglets squad at the Africa U-17 Cup of Nations in 2019 and wore the colours of Prince Kazeem Eletu FC last season.
