Market17 Aug 2026

Only the photograph left for Christopher Richards

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Christopher Richards will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Enyimba the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Enyimba to lose Ufere Chukwu for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Ufere Chukwu has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Nobody could get near Ezekiel Edidiong

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Ezekiel Edidiong in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Enyimba this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match15 Aug 2026

Bayelsa United take the points off Enyimba

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Corinthians tell Enyimba: Léo Maná is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Enyimba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Afolayan Peters is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Enyimba dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Ifeanyi Musa answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Both of them Stanley Dimgba's — 8.56

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.56, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market10 Aug 2026

Only the photograph left for Kalu Nweke

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Kalu Nweke will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Enyimba the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Kalu Nweke signs for Warri Wolves while still at Enyimba

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Kalu Nweke has agreed terms with Warri Wolves for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Enyimba

Ezekiel Edidiong and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Sigma Olomouc tell Enyimba: Yunusa Muritala is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

The game went through Abubakar Bonni — 7.03

Marked 7.03 on 11 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Afolayan Peters gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match8 Aug 2026

Honours even between Enyimba and Ikorodu City

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Enyimba

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Christopher Richards was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
