Ed_S Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Chituru Odunze has joined Charlotte FC on loan from Leicester. Although capped at the youth level by the USA, Chituru is eligible to play for Nigeria, England and Canada if he were to make a one-time switch. He played youth soccer here in Calgary and was later in the Whitecaps Academy prior to going to Leicester in 2019. Looks like he will be with the MLS Next Pro team Crown Legacy FC the Charlotte affliiate. He is just 20 and is a massive goalkeeper at 6'7" and over 200lb.

Ed_S Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 Actually it is a permanent transfer, not a loan. P-O and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Chuck Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Odunze was selected to USA's Pan-American Games U23 roster. This is essentially a B-team Olympic prep squad as they are holding an A-team Olympic camp in the US. USSF lists his hometown as London rather than Calgary or Vancouver https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2023/10/eighteen-players-selected-to-represent-usa-at-2023-panamerican-games-in-first-appearance-since-2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy spends a lot of time in Western Canada and is close with a lot of Canadians players including the Adekugbes, Pepple, Amedume. I bet if we called him up for the senior team he accepts. The US has so many young goalies, a MLS keeper is hardly a blip for them. Corazon, NVsoccer and GasPed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
