Okiemute Odah Eyed for Saudi Arabian Clubs Amid NPFL Rumors
Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) team Shooting Stars may be facing a potentially significant blow ahead of the 2024/25 season. Goalkeeper Okiemute Odah is reportedly considering a departure from the club, with multiple Saudi Arabian clubs allegedly offering him lucrative deals.
Odah, who has previously played for top NPFL clubs like Lobi Stars, Rivers United, Warri Wolves, and Plateau United, has already had a stint in Saudi Arabia with Jeddah FC. This experience has likely attracted the attention of Saudi Arabian clubs, who are now looking to poach the talented shot stopper.
Last season, Odah was one of the standout performers for Shooting Stars, and his departure would undoubtedly be a significant loss for the team. Prior to his time at Shooting Stars, Odah represented the home-based Super Eagles squad at the 2016 Africa Nations Championship.
The 2024/25 season is still months away, but Odah’s potential exit has sent shockwaves through the football community in Nigeria. With his skills and experience, it’s little surprise that he’s attracting interest from clubs outside the country.
As the situation unfolds, Shooting Stars fans will be anxiously awaiting confirmation on Odah’s future. Will the club be able to retain their star goalkeeper, or will he opt for a new challenge abroad? Only time will tell.
