Leading the pack is Sikiru Alimi, who emerged as the club’s top scorer with an impressive tally of 16 goals. Alimi’s consistent goal-scoring prowess was instrumental in many of Remo Stars’ victories this season, solidifying his reputation as a key player in their attacking lineup.
Ismail Ismail, another strong contender, had a remarkable season from his right-back position. Known for his dynamic runs and precise crosses, Ismail contributed significantly to the team’s offensive efforts, recording 15 assists. His exceptional performance earned him a well-deserved call-up to the Super Eagles for their double-header against South Africa and Benin Republic, showcasing his growth and impact on the field.
Jide Fatokun, the versatile midfielder, was a vital cog in the Remo Stars’ machine. Acting as the crucial link between defense and attack, Fatokun’s ability to control the midfield and transition play was evident throughout the season. He also chipped in with two important goals, further underscoring his all-round contribution to the team.
Rounding out the nominees is Ahmed Akinyele, a promising talent from Remo Stars Academy. Despite his youth, Akinyele made a significant impact, scoring twice and showing glimpses of his potential. His performances reflect the club’s commitment to nurturing homegrown talent and integrating them into the senior team.
The announcement of the Player of the Season winner is eagerly anticipated and is expected to take place later this week. Each nominee has demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication, making the decision a challenging one for the club’s fans and management.
