Ahead of the 2024/2025 NPFL season, Kwara United have held talks with Super Eagles Goalkeeper Trainer, Olatunji Baruwa (MON). According to reports, Baruwa, who was sighted in Ilorin a few days ago, has been approached by the Harmony Boys to join their team.

Baruwa, a seasoned goalkeeper trainer, has an impressive record in the NPFL. His last official work with a club was with Nasarawa United, helping the team secure promotion to the NPFL in the just-concluded NNL season. His experience and expertise are expected to be a significant boost to Kwara United, who finished in 13th position in the just-concluded NPFL season.

The signing of Baruwa is seen as a strategic move by Kwara United to improve their goalkeeping department. Overall, Nasarawa United’s form was very poor last season in the NPFL, with three wins, five draws, and 10 losses. This performance placed Nasarawa United at No. 13 out of 20 teams in the NPFL table, winning 17% of matches.

Nasarawa United’s home form is very poor, with three wins, two draws, and four losses. Their away form is also considered very poor, with no wins, three draws, and six losses. Nasarawa United has scored a total of 15 goals this season in NPFL.

The team has been working hard to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, and the addition of Baruwa is expected to be a significant coup. Baruwa’s impressive record in the NPFL is well-known; he has worked with several teams in the league, including Nasarawa United, and has a reputation for developing young goalkeepers.

His experience and expertise are expected to be a significant asset to Kwara United, who are looking to improve their performance in the upcoming season. The signing of Baruwa is also seen as a testament to Kwara United’s commitment to building a strong team.

Fans of the team are eagerly awaiting the official announcement of the signing, which is expected to be made soon.
