Franklin Sasere has finalised his switch from Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side Sunshine Stars to FC Lugano in Europe.

The striker signed for the Europa League side on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee on Thursday.

Sasere has been handed jersey No. 27 and will be battling with Mattia Bottani, Filip Holender, and Carlinhos for a place in the starting XI. 

The Nigerian is expected to make his debut statement when Lugano welcome relegation-threatened Xamas to the Cornaredo Stadium.

Lugano are placed eighth in the Swiss Super League with six points from eight outings.
