The race to sign Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) record-breaking goalkeeper Amas Obasogie from Bendel Insurance is heating up, with Rivers United emerging as the frontrunners.
Obasogie, who enjoyed a stellar season with Bendel Insurance, is a highly sought-after talent following his record of 18 clean sheets in the 2023–24 season, Footballrover reports.
This accomplishment confirmed his place as one of the top goalkeepers in NPFL history.
Reports suggest that alongside Rivers United, teams like Remo Stars, Enyimba, and Plateau United are all vying for the goalkeeper’s signature.
The interest comes as no surprise, considering Bendel Insurance’s first-choice custodian for the past three seasons has consistently displayed exceptional shot-stopping skills and leadership between the sticks.
Further fueling speculation of a move to Port Harcourt, Obasogie recently dropped a cryptic hint on social media.
In response to a question posed by a prominent NPFL journalist regarding a possible transfer to Rivers United, Obasogie replied with a smiley followed by “On my way, boss.”
This indirect confirmation will surely send so much excitement to the faces of fans of the Pride of Rivers.
The potential signing of Obasogie would be a huge boost for the Port Harcourt outfit, considering the fact that their new head coach, Finidi George, is looking to rebuild the team following a lacklustre 2023–24 season that saw them finish in a disappointing eighth place.
With a proven winner like Obasogie in goal, Rivers United can strengthen their defensive line and challenge for top honours in the upcoming season.
While an official confirmation is still in the pipeline, all signs point towards Obasogie’s imminent arrival in Port Harcourt.
