Enyimba Football Club of Aba is determined to keep 25-year-old striker Emeka Obioma despite interest from Tunisian club Esperance.
- Obioma has been with Enyimba since 2018.
- Esperance is the most successful club in Tunisian football, with 4 African Champions League titles.
- The transfer window closes on August 31.
Obioma is the top scorer in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) with 17 goals, and his form has attracted attention from clubs in Europe and Africa.
However, Enyimba is not willing to let him go easily. The club has offered Obioma a new contract worth N1 million per month, which would make him one of the highest-paid players in the NPFL.
Enyimba head coach Finidi George has also spoken to Obioma about his future, and the striker has indicated that he is happy to stay at the club.
“Emeka is an important player for us,” George said. “He is a goalscorer, and he has a good attitude. We want to keep him at the club.”
Esperance is a well-respected club in Africa, and it would be a tempting offer for Obioma. However, he is also aware of the importance of Enyimba to his career.
The club has a rich history, and it is one of the most successful in Nigeria. Obioma has already won the NPFL title with Enyimba, and he would be a key part of the team’s quest to win more trophies in the future.
It remains to be seen whether Obioma will stay at Enyimba or move to Esperance. However, one thing is for sure: he is a valuable asset to both clubs.
