Former Young Boys and FC Luzerne forward, Joetex Frimpong, is confident that the arrival of Super Eagles star, Kalu Uche, will add value to the Swiss Axpo Super League.

“Xamax has a new owner, who wants the team to bounce back to reckoning. Uche is an exceptional player and a goalscorer who has played amongst the best in France and Spain.

His signing represents a significant boost for the club,” Frimpong, who is presently based in Switzerland, said.

Chechen billionaire, Bulat Chagaev, who owns two Geneva-based firms, bought over the majority stake of previous owner, Sylvio Bernasconi, and appointed Andrei Rudakov, a former Spartak Moscow and FC Fribourg player, as chairman.

The Super Eagles star becomes the second Nigerian forward to play for Xamax after Brown Ideye.

However, Uche has a lot of work to do as Xamax is yet to score a goal after four matches and is bottom of the 10-team log with one point.
