Canadian Forward Tani Oluwaseyi Joins Villarreal CF in Spain

Canadian forward Tani Oluwaseyi has officially made the move to Spain’s Villarreal CF, joining fellow Canadian international Tajon Buchanan at the club.

Oluwaseyi’s transfer from Minnesota United was confirmed recently, with the 25-year-old signing a five-year contract with the team known as the Yellow Submarine for its distinctive yellow kit.

Background and Achievements

Originally born in Nigeria and moving to Canada at the age of 10, Oluwaseyi has made a name for himself in the soccer world. With 15 caps for Canada and two goals under his belt, he now joins Buchanan and Mallorca’s Cyle Larin as Canadian attackers in La Liga.

Selected by Minnesota in the first round of the 2022 MLS SuperDraft, Oluwaseyi quickly made his mark with 20 goals and 14 assists in 62 matches for the Loons across all competitions.

Gratitude and Excitement

In a statement, Oluwaseyi expressed his gratitude for his time in Minnesota, saying, “This team and this city will always hold a special place in my heart, and I can’t thank you enough for making me feel at home.”

With Buchanan also making waves at Villarreal, the Canadian presence in La Liga is stronger than ever. Buchanan recently became the first Canadian to score three goals in a single game in Spain’s top flight.

Moving Forward

Villarreal finished fifth in La Liga last season and has already started this season strong with two wins. Oluwaseyi’s transfer to the club is seen as a historic moment for Minnesota United, showcasing the club’s ability to develop top talent.

With his impressive track record and skills on the field, Oluwaseyi is set to make a big impact at Villarreal and continue to represent Canada on the international stage.
