Sportinglens.blogspot.com can reveal that Wikki Tourists of Bauchi are in negotiations to
complete transfer deals for the duo of Omo Johnson and Jonathan Zikiye ahead of
the 2016/2017 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season. It’s understood that the Bauchi-based outfit are
making frantic efforts to make a good replacement for some of its key players
that have left the club.
First team players like Shittu Lawal, Alhassan
Ibrahim ‘Muazam’, Christopher Waziri and Charles Henlong have all moved to
other clubs while club’s top striker Godwin Obaje is undergoing trials at
Spartak Moscow in Russia.
A source in the team’s camp informed Sportinglens.blogspot.com
that Johnson and Zikiye have resumed at Wikki Tourists camp and they are happy
to reunite with their former coach Mohammed Baba Ganaru who is now club’s
technical adviser.
The pair worked under Baba Ganaru at Kano Pillars
last season, although, Jonathan left Sai Masu Gida during mid-season transfer
to Heartland FC of Owerri.
“All things being equal, we are in advance talk with
Omo Johnson and Jonathan Zikiye as well as other top players too. They are
already training with us and hope to finalise the deals very soon,” a source
disclosed to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.
“We are happy that everything is going as planned.
Our pre-season is going on well and I can tell you that there is good
understanding between the old and new players. The technical crew under Baba
Ganaru is fine-tuning a good programme for the club. We believe to have strong
squad for the coming season.”
