In his determination to give respect to the domestic topflight league, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has warned that henceforth there will be no transfer of Nigerian players to mushroom leagues in the backwaters of Europe.
President of the NFF, Amaju Pinnick told the Home-based Super Eagles shortly before they played Mexico early hours of Sunday in Los Angeles, USA that the federation will no longer issue Transfer Certificates to those seeking greener pasture in lowly leagues abroad.
“We want to see our players go to such clubs as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal or even teams like Lyon and other big clubs. We don’t want to be allowing our players to go to Belarus, Cyprus, Malta and other leagues our NPFL is better than,” observed Pinnick in an Instagram post last night.
