Enyimba FC has withdrawn from a deal to sign defender Peter Emeka from Ekiti United, a Nigeria National League (NNL) side, due to disagreements over the player’s valuation. The nine-time Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions had expressed interest in the center-back, but Ekiti United’s demands were deemed excessive.
Enyimba is seeking to bolster its squad with quality players ahead of the second half of the season. The team is currently situated in 12th position on the NPFL table with 26 points. Despite missing out on Emeka, the Aba-based club has successfully acquired the services of midfielder Adekunle Mojeed and Seye Adegbite from Crown FC, another NNL side.
The signings are part of Enyimba’s efforts to strengthen its squad and improve its position in the league. The team’s management is determined to bring in players who can make an immediate impact and help the team climb the rankings. With the mid-season transfer window still open, Enyimba is expected to continue scouting for talented players to reinforce its lineup.
The Nigeria Premier Football League is one of the top domestic competitions in African football, and Enyimba is one of its most successful teams. With nine league titles, the club has a rich history of producing talented players and competing at the highest level. As the season progresses, Enyimba will be looking to build on its recent signings and make a push for a top-tier finish.
The club’s management will be closely monitoring the team’s performance and making adjustments as needed to ensure a strong finish to the season. With the right mix of talent and strategy, Enyimba is capable of making a significant impact in the league and competing with the top teams in the country. As the season enters its second half, all eyes will be on Enyimba to see how the team responds to the challenges ahead.
