NPFL: Naziru Sarki Laja set for Niger Tornados move

Naziru Sarki Laja is set to join Niger Tornados ahead of the 2026-27 Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, season.

Laja was on the books of Wikki Tourist last season.

He was one of the standout performers for the Bauchi Elephants despite their relegation to the Nigeria National League, NNL.

Laja has been identified as a replacement for Shehu Dabai who left the Ikon Allah Boys for Rivers United.

His ability to control tempo and link play is expected to bolster Niger Tornados’ midfield options next season.

An official announcement from Niger Tornados is expected soon.

Sarki Laja’s arrival would mark one of the club’s early moves in the transfer window ahead of pre-season.
