Nelson Abiam has joined Enyimba of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

Abiam joined the People’s Elephant from Kano Pillars, who had won the NPFL four times.

This season, the enterprising defender has slipped in the Kano Pillars hierarchy.

Since joining Sai Masu Gida at the beginning of the season, Abiam has made seven league appearances.

In the previous NPFL season, the 23-year-old center-back scored five goals for Doma United.

He contributed to the home-based Super Eagles’ advancement to the African Nations Championship in 2024.

Adam Mukhtar, a Nigerian midfielder, has joined Norwegian team ODDS BK, according to the DAILY POST.

The young player impressed during his trial time, and the tiny team decided to sign him.

Mukhtar signed a deal with Odd till 2027 after leaving the Nigeria National League (NNL) team Sporting Lagos.

“I am very thrilled and thrilled. “This is the most significant moment of my career to date, and I have been waiting for it my entire life,” he said on the club’s official website.

At the beginning of their careers, many young players have found it difficult to handle the demands of playing in Europe.

But Mukhtar is prepared for the challenge that lies ahead.

Although football is football, the strategies and style of play used here differ slightly from what I’m used to.

“I already think this is a step up from football in Africa, so I hope to adjust quickly.” I’ve had great support from my teammates and the coaching staff, both on and off the field. Here, I truly feel at home,” he continued.

Finidi George, the head coach of Rivers United, is certain that his team would defeat Akwa United on matchday 25.

On Wednesday, the Port Harcourt team will play Akwa United at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

Last Saturday, the former champions lost to Enyimba 1-0 in Aba.

Finidi thought Rivers United could have a better outcome this time around after their strong performance in the match.

We will win if we play this style, in my opinion. I am thus quite hopeful,” Enyimba told the club’s press.

“If we can perform the same way in Uyo, I believe we’ll win or at least return with something.” I’m really optimistic.
