Efe Ambrose Receives Praise as Hibernian’s Standout Signing Since Last Summer
Nigerian defender Efe Ambrose has earned the accolade of being rated as Scottish Premiership club Hibernian’s most impactful signing since last summer, according to Completesportsnigeria.com (CSN). An evaluation of players who transitioned from loan deals to permanent contracts or were acquired outrightly from other clubs was conducted by Edinburgh-based publication, Edinburgh Evening News.
The ratings, appraising the performance of each player since securing a permanent deal with Hibernian last summer, were quantified on a scale out of 10. Ambrose, who initially joined Hibernian on loan in February 2017 from Scottish champions Celtic before finalizing a permanent move last summer, received an impressive rating of nine.
Having featured in all 23 Scottish Premiership games for Hibernian this season, Ambrose’s consistent and commendable displays in the heart of defense contributed significantly to his high rating. The Edinburgh Evening News commented on his performance, noting, “Couple of iffy games aside, he’s (Ambrose) been excellent in the centre of defence. Less so at right-back.”
As Hibernian aims to solidify its standing in the Scottish Premiership, the recognition of Ambrose as the standout signing underscores the impact of the Nigerian defender within the team. The ratings, as provided by Edinburgh News, also shed light on the varying performances of other summer signings, further enriching the narrative of Hibernian’s football journey.
