Niger Tornadoes midfielder Dalhatu is on the verge of completing a move to Shooting Stars as both clubs continue preparations for the upcoming Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
The proposed transfer is expected to strengthen Shooting Stars’ midfield options as the Ibadan-based club looks to assemble a competitive squad capable of challenging for honours in the new campaign.
Dalhatu has impressed with his performances for Niger Tornadoes, earning recognition for his composure, work rate, and ability to influence play in the middle of the park. His anticipated arrival is viewed as a significant addition to Shooting Stars’ plans ahead of the new season.
Sources close to the negotiations indicate that the move is progressing, with the midfielder preparing to begin the next chapter of his career at the seven-time Nigerian league champions.
The transfer also reflects the busy activity in the NPFL transfer market, where clubs are reinforcing their squads to improve their chances of success in the forthcoming campaign.
For Niger Tornadoes, Dalhatu’s departure would represent the loss of an important member of the squad, while Shooting Stars will hope his experience and quality can help strengthen their ambitions in domestic competition.
Supporters of both clubs will be closely monitoring the completion of the deal, with expectations that Dalhatu will make a positive impact if the transfer is finalized.
As the new NPFL season approaches, player movements such as this continue to shape the competitive landscape, with clubs seeking the right blend of experience and talent to achieve their objectives.
