Jonathan Okitas move to FC Zurich is official. Earlier this week, it was already clear that the NEC attacker was leaving for Switzerland. Okita has signed a three-season contract.
It was already clear on Sunday that Okita would make a move, now FC Zurich and NEC have confirmed the news. Because the outside player had an expiring contract, NEC does not receive a transfer fee. In Nijmegen, Okita will mostly be remembered as the man who shot the club to the Eredivisie. More than a year ago, he made the winning hit in the final of the playoffs against NAC Breda.
At Zurich, they have high expectations for Okita. “Jonathan is a difficult and very active player who trades with a lot of speed,” says technical director Marinko Jurendic opposite the club channels. “It can be used in a variety of ways and should further stimulate our attacking game. I am delighted that Jonathan is taking his next step at Zurich.”
