Kano Pillars Striker Namo Claims Interest By Sudanese Giants
|
Kano Pillars leading scorer in this year’s CAF Champions League, Victor Namo, has revealed he has been approached by Sudan’s top clubs, Al Hilal and El Merriekh.
“I have been approached by Hilal and El Merriekh to play for them and both of them have told me to hold on,” said Namo, who scored seven goals as Kano Pillars reached the semi-final of the CAF Champions League.
“I would love to play for either of these teams, and so I have my fingers crossed.”
Namo, 21 in March, has been with Pillars since the 2006 season, but it was not till this year that he established himself as the club’s top striker ahead of Hilary Chukwu.
The former Yobe Desert Stars forward has already undergone trials in Israel and Vietnam.
Both Hilal and Merreikh have over the years relied on Nigerian firepower in the form of strikers Endurance Idahor, Kelechi Osunwa, Efosa Eguakun and most recently, Stephen Worgu.
El Merriekh splashed a record-breaking $3.4 million when they signed Worgu last year from Nigerian club Enyimba.
