Ex-Home Eagles Defender Jamiu Alimi Poised to Bolster SuperSport United Squad

In a potential game-changing move, former home-based Super Eagles defender Jamiu Alimi is on the brink of joining South African Premier League powerhouse, SuperSport United, according to a reliable source. Although the intricate details of the deal remain undisclosed, the transfer is expected to enhance the defensive capabilities of the Johannesburg-based club.

The 25-year-old, who previously showcased his defensive prowess with Shooting Stars and Sharks FC, is slated to depart from Lagos, Nigeria, later tonight en route to Johannesburg. Alimi’s journey to SuperSport United follows earlier speculation linking him with a move to the Canadian top division side, Whitecaps, which ultimately failed to materialize.

Having played a pivotal role for Kano Pillars in the previous season, Alimi opted not to renew his loan deal with the Sai Masu Gida team. This strategic move signals a new chapter in his career as he prepares to contribute his skills and experience to SuperSport United.

Alimi’s proficiency and versatility as a defender make him a valuable addition to any team, and SuperSport United is poised to benefit significantly from his capabilities. As the details of this high-profile transfer unfold, football enthusiasts eagerly anticipate witnessing the impact of Alimi’s defensive prowess on the South African Premier League stage.
