Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Bendel Insurance is on the verge of losing their first-choice goalkeeper, Amas Obasogie, to an unnamed club abroad. According to reports, Obasogie has attracted interest from a foreign club, and negotiations are underway to seal the deal.
Obasogie’s impressive performance in the 2023/24 season, where he won the golden glove award with 18 clean sheets, has caught the attention of clubs both locally and internationally. However, his high demands have led to Enyimba and Rivers United, two former NPFL champions, cooling their interest in signing him.
The 25-year-old goalkeeper has been Bendel Insurance’s first-choice goalkeeper for the past three seasons and played a crucial role in the team’s success, including winning the 2023 President Federation Cup title.
