John Ebuka

Al Ittihad AlexandriaCentre-Forward29Reunited With His Coach

Quick Answer

John Okoye Ebuka won the Cypriot golden boot with 41 goals for Yenicami in 2016-17, before playing for ENPPI and Ceramica Cleopatra in Egyptian football. He joined Al Ittihad Alexandria on a 2-year deal in July 2025, reuniting with coach Ahmed Sami, who had previously managed him at Ceramica Cleopatra. His biggest strength is his past goal-scoring output and the tactical familiarity with his coach; the key question is whether he can reverse the drop in output from his Al Masry loan spell (1 goal in 12 games).

After a brief spell at Serbia’s FK Novi Pazar, Ebuka moved to Cyprus’s Yenicami, where he was the league’s top scorer with 41 goals in 2016-17. Following a spell at Hamitköy, he moved into Egyptian football in 2020, playing for ENPPI and then Ceramica Cleopatra. During a loan spell at Al Masry he scored just 1 goal in 12 league appearances, a relatively quiet stretch. He joined Al Ittihad Alexandria on a 2-year deal in July 2025 because coach Ahmed Sami, who had managed him at Ceramica Cleopatra, took charge of the club — his fifth club in Egyptian football.

Playing Style & Assessment

Ebuka is a centre-forward who stands out for penalty-box positioning and clinical finishing, with proven goal instincts from his time in Cyprus. His prior tactical understanding with his coach could help him settle in faster at his new club.

Strengths

Proven past goal output — His 41-goal season at Yenicami shows he has the finishing capacity to thrive in the right system.
Tactical familiarity with his coach — His prior relationship with Ahmed Sami at Ceramica Cleopatra could speed up tactical integration.
Multi-league experience — Time in Serbia, Cyprus and Egypt reflects an adaptability to different football cultures.

Development Areas

Recent drop in output — 1 goal in 12 games during his Al Masry loan points to a real dip in form.
Frequent club changes — Being his fifth club in Egyptian football raises a question about long-term stability at one side.
Age and physical peak — At 29, he may largely be past the physical peak of his career.

Level Projection

Verdict: A striker with a proven track record in Cypriot football but currently searching for form; not a direct Süper Lig starter, but a development/rotation option with recovery potential in the right system.

Current level	Süper Lig rotation (form must be monitored)
Primary role	Centre-Forward

Key risk	Recent drop in output
