Former Inter Milan forward, Obinna Nsofor, maybe clubless at the moment, however, the 31-year-old managed to score a goal regarding his long-awaited Italian citizenship.

Nsofor’s first European foray was at Serie A side Chievo in 2005 before spells at Inter, Malaga, West Ham, Lokomotiv Moscow and a return to Verona.

The attacker took to social media to celebrate his confirmation as an Italian citizen on Tuesday.

The ex-Enyimba forward flaunted images of his newly-received passport that grants him free movement around Italy and other European countries without a visa.

Nsofor enjoyed success with the Nigeria youth teams at the U20 and U23 levels before moving to the Super Eagles where he scored 12 goals in 44 appearances.

The former West Ham United player had a brief stint in the South African top-flight with Cape Town City that was reportedly cut short by his unconvincing return of just a goal in 13 matches.
