Nigeria Premier Football League giants Enyimba have successfully finalized a loan agreement with Ekiti United for the services of defender Peter Emeka. The “People’s Elephant” successfully negotiated terms to bring the Nigeria National League standout to Aba for the duration of the current campaign.
This breakthrough comes after a period of uncertainty where Enyimba initially walked away from the transfer due to disagreements over Ekiti United’s high valuation of the player.
The nine-time champions urgently need defensive reinforcements following a lackluster start to the second half of the season. Head coach Ayodeji Ayeni’s side has failed to secure a single victory in their first two fixtures of the second round, raising concerns among the club’s supporters. Club management intends for Emeka’s arrival to stabilize a backline that has conceded soft goals during this recent dip in form.
This signing marks a continued effort by the Enyimba board to revitalize the squad with high-quality additions after an underwhelming first-round performance. The team currently sits outside the title-contending spots and must integrate new signings quickly to bridge the gap with the league leaders. Emeka expects to join first-team training immediately as Enyimba prepares for their upcoming crucial home fixture.
