Reason for delay is visa has only just come through you wouldnt want to announce it and have the visa declined.
Can't think of any Visa player announced and then been unable to get a Work Permit.

Probably just wanted to give him the full medical check up in person given the previous injury issues?
How often have we announced a visa before a work permit has come through?

A number of times

"Ifeanyi Eze will join the Phoenix once he obtains his New Zealand work visa and he can’t wait to meet his new teammates."

"Oluwayemi will join the Nix once he obtains his New Zealand work visa."

"It’s hoped he will join the squad in Wellington next week once he obtains a New Zealand work visa." (Talking about Nagasawa)

A number of times, Eze for one.
