Market

Terms done: Divine Chidera is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Bayelsa United waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Rangers International is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market

Ejike Ikwu asks to leave Rangers International

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Agu Kenechukwu has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Rangers International they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Transfer targets

Kammonke Willie due for a Rangers International medical

Everything agreed with Ikorodu City, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom

Agu Kenechukwu has agreed to leave Rangers International for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Market

El-Kanemi Warriors watching Chimobi Igwilo

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Rangers International have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Abraham Kudus

Rangers International asked and WAFA said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of James Emo

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Kano Pillars take the points off Rangers International

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

In brief
