Remo Stars’ midfielder Jide Fatokun has completed a transfer to Sudanese club Al-Merrikh SC on a two-year contract. Fatokun, who has been instrumental in Remo Stars’ midfield, will now ply his trade with the Omdurman-based team, known for their rich history in African football.
This move leaves a significant void in the Super Eagles B squad, particularly in the defensive midfield position. The coaching staff will need to identify a suitable replacement from the Nigeria Premier Football League to fill Fatokun’s role in the upcoming CHAN tournament.
Fatokun’s departure also impacts Remo Stars, who will miss his contributions in their domestic campaign. The club, based in Ikenne, Ogun State, has been a competitive force in the NPFL, and finding a replacement for Fatokun will be crucial for maintaining their midfield strength.
Al-Merrikh SC, established in 1908, is one of Sudan’s most successful football clubs, with a storied history in both domestic and continental competitions. Fatokun’s addition to their squad is expected to bolster their midfield options as they aim for success in the Sudan Premier League and beyond.
