ABS Director of Football, Alloy Chukwuemeka, has said the club has made available players to fill the vacuum created by erstwhile forward Olusegun Olakunle who signed for Danish club last week.

“There are players like Muri Dagbo, Sufian Bello, Samuel Bamigboye, David Okoromi among others that in few years they can be better than Kunle.

He added that ABS FC is fully set for the take off of the new season as everything have been put in place to kick start the NNL season.

“I already know several of the players, and in addition I have almost just met them all in Turkey. I have talked a lot with Sodiq and Sammy, and they have prepared me for life in Denmark.
“Both the country and the club seem like a perfect solution to me and therefore it was an easy choice. I’m looking forward to making my debut, and it would be great if it happens tonight,” Kunle said.
