The Technical Adviser of Kwara United, Tunde Sanni, has revealed plans to strengthen the team by adding a few quality players ahead of the second half of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, set to kick off on January 25 at various league venues across the country.
Coach Sanni highlighted the importance of a solid squad and dependable substitutes for a successful league campaign.
Speaking to the club’s media team after resuming from the Christmas and New Year break on Wednesday, following a training session and a friendly match against ABS FC, the coach shared his plans:
“We are looking to bring in about two to four players to bolster the team and ensure we have quality options on the bench,” Sanni stated.
The Harmony Boys’ gaffer also urged fans in the state to have confidence in the team’s capabilities, emphasizing that all players are in excellent physical condition, injury-free, and ready to build on their first-round performance.
On the condition of the pitch at the Kwara State Stadium, Coach Sanni commended the efforts of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Executive Chairman of the Sports Commission, Mallam Bola Magaji, the Kwara FA under Mallam Idris Musa Thuraya, and the club’s management for maintaining the pitch’s quality despite challenging weather conditions.
“I must say this pitch is one of the best in the North Central. The lush green surface is excellently maintained. My appreciation goes to all stakeholders for their efforts,” he remarked.
In a related development, Kwara United played out a 1-1 draw against ABS FC in their recent friendly match. The team featured a mix of U-19 players and trialists, taking advantage of the ongoing January transfer window to assess potential new additions.
