The African transfer market is lively this Saturday with the confirmation of the arrival of Nigerian striker Alimi Sikiru at JS Saoura, an Algerian Ligue 1 club. The 28-year-old forward, who is a national team player with the local Super Eagles (CHAN), has landed in Algeria to finalize his transfer from the Sudanese club. This signing, which has been anticipated for several days, is now imminent and generating strong enthusiasm among JS Saoura supporters.
Alimi Sikiru is known for his physical forward profile, strong aerial ability, and natural goal-scoring instinct. After a notable career in the Nigerian league with Remo Stars, where he stood out for his efficiency in front of goal, he is about to start a new chapter in North African football. His continental experience gained during the African Nations Championship (CHAN) is a valuable asset for his new club.
JS Saoura is counting on the Nigerian’s rapid integration to strengthen its attacking lineup as the Algerian season begins. The club hopes to capitalize on Sikiru’s qualities to achieve success domestically and in continental competitions. Contract negotiations are at an advanced stage, and the official signing is expected soon.
This arrival confirms the current trend of North African clubs securing the services of African talents from local championships, following other recent moves on the continent. For Alimi Sikiru, this is a great opportunity to progress in a more competitive league and gain visibility in the region, which could enhance his prospects for an international future.
