Motherwell: Henrik Ojamaa signs for Polish side Legia Warsaw

Henrik Ojamaa scored 13 goals during his time at Motherwell

Polish champions Legia Warsaw have beaten off competition from Ekstraklasa rivals Lech Poznan to sign striker Henrik Ojamaa from Motherwell.

The 22-year-old Estonian international has joined Legia on a three-year deal.

Motherwell, who rejected an offer from Lech last week, confirmed the switch, which is for an undisclosed fee.

Ojamaa tweeted: "I've had an unforgettable time at Motherwell, thanks to all the staff/players and the fans for making it so enjoyable."

In 65 appearances for the Steelmen he scored 13 goals, including five in his first six matches for the club.

Ojamaa, capped 10 times, moved to Fir Park from RoPS in Finland in January 2012 and his fine form led to a two-and-half-year contract being signed the following month.

    As a Hearts fan, I need to tell you Motherwell fans to calm down about losing players etc. I think we have maybe 4 or 5 senior players left. The majority of your squad were brought in for frees, did well during their time and then righty move on to bigger things. Now the process will repeat, but McCall might even have a bit more to spend on wages with the sales of Ojamaa and previously Murphy.

    Shame such a successful first team squad is going to be almost literally decimated, I don't expect Higdon, Hateley or McFadden to re-sign either. But that's always been the Motherwell way, and of those who have left so far, this is actually the best bit of business for the club -- arrived for free, going out for £££.

    Not a 'Well fan but always thought Ojamaa was a very decent player. Legia Warsaw are a big club in an improving league and I'd imagine his wages have been multiplied. Good luck to you Henrik.

    Sorry to see him go.
    It is positive, though, that Well turned down previous offers from Lech Poznan and started a wee bit of a bidding battle in Poland. At least Well have got some cash in return. Now all McCall needs to do is replace him...and about 6 other players.

    Sorry & worried to see Ojamaa go as it now appears that the mighty 'Well are struggling to hold on to most of last seasons squad, which only makes life more difficult next season.

    It would be nice not to be a selling club ALL the time!

    It was certain to happen. I only hope we got a reasonable amount for him. Maybe £750K, something in that region. Otherwise I'd be extremely miffed.

    In any case, all these departures and a lack of any signings is worrying me a bit, even this early on...

    No doubt he's gone for buttons.
