Nnamdi Oduamadi Chidiebere (born 17 October 1990), also known by his shirt name Odu,[1] is a Nigerian footballer who plays as a forward for HJK Helsinki on loan from Milan.

Club career

Early career

Born in Lagos, Oduamadi started playing football at the local Pepsi Football Academy at the age of 7.[2][3] He left his home country in 2008 to join Milan, although he was officially signed only in January 2009 due to bureaucratic issues.[3] Oduamadi spent two seasons in the club's youth system and was a member of the under-20 side who won the Coppa Italia Primavera in 2010, 25 years after the team's last success in the competition.[4]

At the beginning of the 2010–11 season, Milan announced to have sold half of the rights to Oduamadi to Genoa in co-ownership for €3.5 million,[5] as part of the deal that saw defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos move the other way.[6] The Nigerian, though, stayed at Milan on loan,[7] being included in the first team squad. He made his official debut for the club in a league game against Catania on 18 September 2010, coming off the bench in the last minutes.[8] However, that remained his only appearance of the season and he still played games for the under-20 team at times through the season as an over-age player,[9] being also included in the squad for the annual Viareggio Cup.[10]

Torino

At the beginning the 2011–12 season, Oduamadi's co-ownership deal between Milan and Genoa was resolved in favour of the former,[11] but he was sent on loan to Serie B club Torino.[12] He ended the season with 11 appearances and three goals.

Varese and Brescia

For the 2012–13 season, Oduamadi joined Serie B side Varese on another loan deal.[13]

At the start of the 2013–14 campaign, Oduamadi moved to Serie B club Brescia, once again on loan.[14]

On 31 January 2014, Oduamadi rejoined Varese, making his second loan spell.[15]

Crotone & Latina

On 8 August 2014, Oduamadi was signed by Serie B club Crotone.[16] On 21 January 2015 he was signed by U.S. Latina Calcio.[17][18]

Şanlıurfaspor and back to Milan

On 22 July 2015, Oduamadi moved on loan to TFF First League club Şanlıurfaspor for the season.[19] However, the deal was cut short before the end of the summer transfer window and he came to Milan.[20]

HJK Helsinki

On 22 March 2016, Oduamadi moved to Finnish club HJK Helsinki, on a loan deal set to expire on 31 December.[21] On 26 May 2016, he scored the decisive goal in the Helsinki derby as HJK claimed a 2-1 victory over HIFK.[22]

International career

At international level, Oduamadi was first capped by Nigeria U-17 back when he was at the Pepsi Football Academy.[23] He went on to be called up by Nigeria U-20 to take part in the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup, but eventually was cut from the final squad due to an hamstring injury.[24]

Oduamadi made his full international debut for Nigeria against Kenya, on 29 March 2011, featuring as a second-half substitute.[citation needed] He appeared again against Kenya in a 2014 world cup qualifying match on 23 March 2013 and scored the equalising goal in the 94th minute to level the score

He was selected for Nigeria's squad at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and scored three goals against Tahiti in Nigeria's opeing match.[25] [26]
