Suriname’s football giants SV Transvaal have completed the signing of Nigerian forward Ademola Kuti on a two-year deal, marking a major milestone in the club’s history.
Kuti becomes the first Nigerian and African player ever to sign for the historic Surinamese side — a move that’s already generating huge excitement among fans.
Known for his explosive pace, power, and lethal finishing, Kuti brings valuable international experience from multiple top-flight leagues across Africa and Asia.
In a remarkable twist, Kuti once played under the late Diego Maradona during his time in the Dubai First Division — making him the only Nigerian footballer to have ever been coached by the Argentine legend.
The 27-year-old striker has previously featured for several notable clubs, including:
Accra Hearts of Oak 🇬🇭 – Ghanaian and African powerhouse
Lobi Stars FC 🇳🇬 – NPFL top side
Punjab FC 🇮🇳 – Indian Super League contenders
DC Virunga 🇨🇩 – DR Congo top-flight club
Al-Fujairah FC 🇦🇪 – UAE second-tier team
AS SONIDEP 🇳🇪 – Niger Premier League champions
SV Transvaal fans are already buzzing, expecting Kuti to add serious firepower to the team’s attack as the new season kicks off.
“This is a big step for me, and I’m ready to give everything for the club,” Kuti said after signing.
With his proven goal-scoring instincts and global experience, Ademola Kuti is set to light up Surinamese football.
