Lokomotiv Moscow and Videoton FC have agreed on the transfer of Ezekiel Henty on Wednesday. The Nigerian forward was born on the 13th May 1993 and was born in Lagos. He started his playing career with Flying Sports Academy, but moved at a young age to AC Milan and their youth system. There were loan moves to Spezia, Perugia, ND Gorica and Olimpija Ljubjana. The latter club eventually made that loan permanant. He spent a short time working together with Marko Nikolic while the two were in the Slovenian capital club.

A successful spell in Ljubjana earned him a move in February 2016 to Russian first division side Lokomotiv Moscow. He most recently spent a half year on loan with Emirates club Baniyas SC. The 185cm tall well built forward played in 45 Slovenian first division games, which brought 14 goals and 10 assists. There were 12 matches in the Emirates that saw 5 goals scored and a further 17 in the Russian first division and 6 in the Serie B, which both resulted in a goal each.

"We were looking for a player that could play in several positions upfront. Ezekiel Henty is just that type of player. We have been watching this player for a long time now and have put together as much information regarding him. He moved to Europe at a very young age, and has gone on to show his talent at several clubs. The amount of transfer fees paid over the recent years only confirms the quality of the player, but for us the most interesting factor is how he will perform for our club. I am sure that Ezekiel will provide a serious strengthening and will quickly win over the Videoton fans" - commented Zoltan Kovacs.

"I am pleased to be here. Videoton FC are a club with big traditions and a very good club. They are among the top sides in Hungary. I have a good relationship with Marko Nikolic after working together with him at Olimpija Ljubljana. Not only as a coach but also as a person do I consider him positively. With regards to the other players in the squad, I know Krisztian Tamas from AC Milan and also Danko Lazovic. I do not know too much about Hungarian football but I want to get to know it as soon as possible. If I have to briefly describe myself, I am a player that will do everything for the team and try to score as many goals as possible" - commented Ezekiel Henty to vidi.hu.

Henty has signed a 3 year deal and will wear the number 21 shirt.
