Plymouth Argyle Signs Xavier Amaechi From FC Magdeburg Under New Coach

Plymouth Argyle have signed winger Xavier Amaechi on a three-year contract, making him the first signing under new head coach Tom Cleverley. The 24-year-old, an Arsenal academy graduate and former England youth international, joins from German club FC Magdeburg, where he scored seven goals and provided five assists in 44 appearances over two seasons. Amaechi previously had loan spells at Bolton Wanderers and Karlsruhe, and his move to Argyle is seen as a boost to the club's attacking options. Cleverley praised Amaechi's pace, experience in Europe, and potential for growth, while Argyle's head of football operations, David Fox, highlighted his dynamic and attack-minded profile fitting the club's vision. Amaechi's signing follows other summer additions, including Jamie Paterson and Bradley Ibrahim, signaling Argyle's intent to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. The club aims to integrate these new players early in pre-season to implement Cleverley's strategies effectively.
