Career

Early career

Chima started playing football for Festac Sport, before going on loan to Bussdor United.

He joined the Norwegian First Division side Lyn at the beginning of the 2010-season, and scored his first goal in his debut against Bodø/Glimt on 5 April 2010.[1]

Molde FK

Following the bankruptcy of Lyn, Chima joined Tippeligaen side Molde on 28 July 2010.[2]

On 25 April 2011, he secured a 3–1 win against Brann with a stoppage-time goal, which was also his first goal for Molde.[3]

On 4 August 2012, Chukwu scored the winning goal which gave champions Molde FK victory over Sogndal in the Tippeligaen.[4]

On 30 September 2012, he fired a treble against Stabaek in a 4–3 victory to shoot Norwegian champions Molde back to the top of the table.[5]

Chima was the hero of his club as he sealed victory in a 2–0 win over Stuttgart in the Europa League on 4 October 2012.[6]

On 8 November 2012, he got on the score sheet, but ended up on the losing side as Steaua București completed a two way win in a Europa League group clash.[7]

On 11 November 2012, Chima scored the only goal in Molde's 1–0 home victory against Hønefoss, which coupled with their title challengers, Strømsgodset, 2–1 defeat away to Sandnes Ulf, secured Molde's second Tippeligaen title.[8]

In December 2012, reports surfaced that Chima was wanted by Romanian club Steaua București, who were weighing up a bid.[9][10] His agent Atta Aneke confirmed to Aftenposten that Steaua had shown interest in signing him in the winter of 2012.[11]

On 29 January 2015, Molde agreed to sell Chima to Shanghai Shenxin F.C.,[12]
