NPFL: Nasarawa United assembling fresh legs as Euro clubs beckon on Izuogu

Nasarawa United technical adviser Usman Adams has said the technical crew is working tirelessly to assemble the best legs for the team ahead of the new season.

The Solid Miners are making a return to the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, after a season in the Nigeria National League, NNL.

Adams is optimistic that the team will be ready to compete before the start of the new campaign.

“As you can see, we are a work in progress,” he told the club’s media.

“We have some sizeable number of quality players from top clubs in the NPFL and a few other players from about three African countries.

“We are observing their progress through the pre-season friendlies and very soon, we should be announcing our new acquisitions to show how ready we are for the new season.”

Elsewhere, Chibueze Izuogu is on the verge of leaving Enyimba for a move abroad.

According to reports, Izuogu is attracting interest from an unnamed club in Europe.

The youngster was impressive for the People’s Elephant in the Nigeria Premier Football League last season.

Izuogu made 18 appearances and scored one goal for the nine-time NPFL champions.

He is currently in a pre-season tournament with Enyimba in Enugu.

Izuogu is expected to finalise his move before the end of the transfer window.
