At least three clubs in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) are reportedly expressing keen interest in securing the mid-season signing of former Golden Eaglets defender, Charles Etim.

Known for his versatility in various defensive positions and defensive midfield, Etim has garnered attention for his skills and adaptability on the field.

The talented defender is currently plying his trade with FC ONE Rocket in the Nigeria National League, having joined the team on loan from Blessed Stars Football Academy, Uyo.

His standout performances have not gone unnoticed, leading to interest from NPFL clubs eager to strengthen their squads for the remainder of the season.

Charles Etim rose through the ranks of Nigerian youth football, making a significant impact as part of the Nigeria U-17 team during the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

His prowess on the field and ability to contribute in multiple defensive roles have marked him as a promising talent for the future.

Not only a product of the Golden Eaglets, Etim has also represented Nigeria at the U-20 level. His experience at both youth levels adds to his appeal for NPFL clubs seeking a player with a well-rounded skill set.

As trading in the NPFL mid-season transfer window continues, the race for Charles Etim’s signature intensifies, with NPFL clubs hoping to out-do other prospective suitors to secure his service and benefit from his defensive prowess.
