Super Eagles
forward, Junior Lokosa completed his transfer to African champions side,
Esperance de Tunisia from Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side,
Kano Pillars on a two and half years deal.
Lokosa was a
revelation last season as he scored 19 goals in just 21 league appearances and
also helped Kano Pillars reach the Aiteo Cup final where they lost to Enugu
Rangers.
The former
First Bank of Lagos player will now join the rest of his new teammates in
Tunisia and could be presented to the fans when Esperance take on U.S Ben
Guerdane in the league on Tuesday.
The attacker
narrowly missed out on Nigeria’s party to the World Cup in Russia after
initially making the 30-man provisional list but made his Super Eagles debut
against DR Congo in May last year.
Having drawn
their opening match in the Champions League away at Horoya, the Tunisian side
will hope the acquisition of the Nigerian would change their fortunes ahead of
their first home game against Platinum this weekend.
