The Executive Chairman of the Kwara Sports Commission, Coach Bolakale Mogaji, has revealed that Chelsea Football Club and several other international clubs have expressed interest in signing three players from the Kwara Football Academy (KFA).
Mogaji disclosed this on Wednesday in Ilorin during the 3rd Quarter Inter-Ministerial News Briefing organized by the Kwara Ministry of Communications.
The Chairman identified the players and the interested clubs:
1. Abduljelil Kamaldeen for Chelsea in England.
2. Uthman Tajudeen for Brentford in London.
3. Ifeanyi Ikechwukwu for Lueven in Belgium.
Mogaji said the proceeds from the proposed contracts with the international clubs are expected to significantly boost the state's Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).
He explained that arrangements were in top gear with scouts from the clubs who identified their preferred players, noting that the players are currently undergoing rigorous evaluation.
The sports administrator also highlighted the historic achievement of Kwara United Football Club, which won this year's prestigious President Federation Cup after a long period of time.
Mogaji stated that sports facilities at the George Innih Stadium Complex had been upgraded, including the construction of the first-of-its-kind eight-wing squash courts.
The chairman also revealed that the newly remodeled Pa Ladipo Indoor Sports Hall would soon be ready for use.
He described Abdulrazaq as a passionate lover of sports and praised his huge investment in sports development as a powerful tool for youth development. (NAN).
