Shooting Stars Football Club has issued a statement addressing speculations regarding player transfers and signings. The Ibadan-based club assured fans that talks are ongoing with potential new players and are at advanced stages.
“We want to state here officially that we are still holding talks with the players we plan to bring into the fold,” the club said in a statement. “We are glad to inform you that talks have reached advanced stages with some of the players, and in days to come, we shall make a public pronouncement in this regard.”
The club acknowledged the rumors surrounding player departures and the need for reinforcements, but clarified that they are working diligently to secure quality signings to bolster their squad.
“We are not in anyway, keeping the media and our loving fans in the dark in this regard, but just to ensure the deals are done before they are revealed,” the statement continued. “We sincerely want to appreciate you all for your concern and support always for the Oluyole Warriors.”
The club emphasized their commitment to building a solid squad capable of competing for honors in the upcoming season. “The management and the coaching crew are working hard to ensure we parade a solid squad, good enough to compete for honours come next season,” they said.
The club is also wary of repeating the 2016/2017 poor season where they were relegated from the NPFL after finishing 18 on the log.
While retaining most of last season’s squad, Shooting Stars aims to add talented players who will enhance the team’s quality. “While we are sure of retaining the bulk of last season’s squad, be rest assured that we will beef up the squad with good legs who will add quality to the team,” the club concluded.
