Clubs return to transfer market, as Plateau Utd maintains lead

The first stanza of the Nigeria Professional Football League ended last wednesday as clubs moved into the transfer market to shop for valuable players. Top NPFL clubs have been scouting with agents and managers to recruit the best legs ahead of the second stanza.

Already the management of Abubakar Bukola Saraki of Ilorin FC, has released six players and placed 3 on probation. The players were released because of lack of productivity, saying their contribution to the team is not encouraging hence the need to replace them with others.

“We are very ambitious and we want to achieve good results, so we will not tolerate anyone not adding to our value. This is a young team that we are building for the future, the process starts now and the foundation must be solid” ABS management stated.

The Secretary of the Club Owners, explained that the technical crew has requested for immediate replacement for the six released players.

“We are going to recruit another six to replace the dropped players. “Screening for these new set of players will commence soon” .

Meanwhile, the team has since gone on break to regroup today, April 28 for preparations for the second stanza of the league and the final of the state Federation Cup against Kwara United.
