LMC will soon name Yobo’s NPFL club – Bassey


CHAIRMAN of Akwa United Management Committee, Paul Bassey has revealed that the League Management Company (LMC) would soon name Joseph Yobo’s NPFL club, but was quick to add that his outfit, Akwa United would be delighted to welcome Joseph Yobo into their fold.

“We would love to have Yobo play for us.

”It would be a thing of honour for him to play for Akwa United.

“It is his choice to make. There were four clubs he listed earlier, Akwa United, FC Ifeanyiubah, Wikki Tourists and Kano Pillars.

“For now, LMC have not tied up everything. We expected that last week. But I know the will do that soon.

“The only thing is that for us at Akwa United, we would like him play for us “ Bassey said.

Yobo, a former captain of the Super Eagles was expected back in the domestic league in the ca­pacity of Elite Player after signing agreement with the League Man­agement Committee, LMC.

The arrangement to bring the former Everton of England de­fender back into the NPFL fol­lowed a previous similar deal with Sani Kaita which saw him fea­tured for Enyimba and FC Ifeany­iUbah after his illustrious career in Europe.

LMC had revealed then that Yobo who remains Nigeria’s most capped international with 101 ap­pearances for the Super Eagles officially called time on his inter­national career with a Testimonial Match in Port Harcourt last May.
