Surkhon striker moves to Pakhtakor: deal includes key clause

Surkhon forward Stefan Chinedu will continue his career temporarily at Pakhtakor. The Termez club first extended the Nigerian forward's current contract before sending him to the Tashkent club on loan.

This transfer became one of the notable events ahead of the second half of the Super League season, as Chinedu had quickly gained fans' attention by delivering high-level performances for Surkhon.

Contract with Chinedu extended until 2027

According to the Surkhon press service, the club has extended the current employment contract with Stefan Chinedu until the end of 2027.

This decision shows that the Termez side has not excluded the forward from their long-term plans. Even though the player is on loan, his rights remain with Surkhon.

Forward to play for Pakhtakor until the end of the season

According to the agreement between the parties, the Nigerian striker will play for Pakhtakor on loan until the end of the 2026 season.

For Pakhtakor, this transfer could strengthen competition and goal-scoring options in the attacking line. Chinedu will have the opportunity to prove himself at a new level in a team fighting for the championship.

10 goals in 14 matches

Stefan Chinedu has appeared in a total of 14 official matches for Surkhon.

In these games, the forward found the back of the net 10 times. This statistic established him as one of the most efficient foreign players in the Super League.

Surkhon expressed gratitude to the forward

The Termez club specifically acknowledged the player's contribution to the team.

“Our team expresses gratitude to Chinedu for his dedicated work within our club,” the club's statement said.

The main intrigue behind the loan

Chinedu's move to Pakhtakor could make the Super League competition even more interesting in the second half of the season.

On one hand, Pakhtakor has acquired an experienced and clinical forward. On the other, Surkhon has retained control over the player's future by extending his contract.
