Another new addition, 26-year-old striker Samuel Adegbenro from Nigeria, will be a big help on the attacking end of the Guingamp team with his speed and impact. The 1 meter 78 tall Adegbenro moved from Nigeria to Norway in 2015, and has played for Viking, Rosenborg, and during his time with Königswagen, he played 34 matches and contributed 19 goals.
And Croatian striker Marko Dabro, a similarly tall 25-year-old to Adebenelo, has made his mark in the Croatian junior national team at all levels and has had a stellar season with Lokomotiv Zagreb. This season, he scored 14 goals in 30 appearances for Lokomotiv.
