Nigeria’s CHAN Eagles goalkeeper, Mustapha Lawal, popularly called Musty, has emerged as one of the hottest properties in the transfer market following the expiration of his contract with Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC).
The highly rated shot-stopper is attracting strong interest from clubs within the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) and abroad after an impressive campaign that further cemented his reputation as one of the country’s most dependable goalkeepers.
Angolan side Atlético de Luanda and Sierra Leonean outfit FC Kallon are among the foreign clubs closely monitoring the former 3SC goalkeeper, while NPFL heavyweights Plateau United, Rangers International and Kwara United have also joined the race for his signature.
Lawal’s stock has continued to rise on the back of his performances for the CHAN Eagles and his consistency at club level. Renowned for his commanding presence, sharp reflexes and composure under pressure, the goalkeeper has established himself as one of the finest custodians in the domestic league.
The 43 game veteran recorded an impressive 18 clean sheets during his spell with the Oluyole Warriors, underlining his credentials as a proven and reliable last line of defence.
With negotiations ongoing and several clubs keen to bolster their squads ahead of the new season, the battle for Lawal’s signature is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing transfer sagas of the window.
Now a free agent, the sought-after goalkeeper has become one of the most attractive options on the market, with both domestic and foreign suitors eager to secure his “safe hands.”
