In the midst of swirling rumors about his potential departure from the club, Cyril Olisema has diligently begun his pre-season preparations with Akwa United.
The talented midfielder, who has been the subject of interest from other clubs, joined his teammates on the training field at the Uyo Township Stadium this week, as they resumed training after a month-long break.
Olisema’s presence during the training session indicates his commitment to the Akwa United cause, despite the persistent transfer speculation surrounding him. Notably, both Rivers United and Remo Stars have expressed their interest in acquiring the midfielder’s services ahead of the upcoming campaign. Nevertheless, Akwa United officials remain resolute in their decision not to sell their prized asset.
Last season, Olisema proved instrumental to the success of the Promise Keepers, emerging as the team’s top scorer with an impressive tally of six goals. His remarkable performances on the field have undoubtedly caught the attention of rival clubs, who are eager to secure his signature for the upcoming season.
As Akwa United embark on their pre-season training, the coaching staff and management will be hoping to retain Olisema’s services, recognizing his immense value to the team. With his exceptional playmaking abilities and goal-scoring prowess, the midfielder has played a pivotal role in the club’s recent achievements.
The training sessions will not only focus on sharpening the players’ physical condition but also on fostering team cohesion and tactical awareness. Head coach and support staff will work tirelessly to ensure that the team is well-prepared for the grueling challenges that lie ahead in the new campaign.
As the pre-season progresses, the situation surrounding Olisema’s future remains uncertain. It remains to be seen whether the persistent interest from Rivers United and Remo Stars will result in a transfer, or if Akwa United’s steadfast refusal to sell will prevail.
For now, Olisema’s dedication and professionalism during training indicate that he is focused on delivering another successful season for the Promise Keepers, regardless of the off-field speculation.
Fans and observers will eagerly await further developments in this intriguing transfer saga, while Akwa United will strive to maintain their strong squad ahead of the new season, hoping to build on their previous successes and reach new heights in Nigerian football.
