Gombe Explains Agbim’s Signing

Gombe United have
stated that their signing of Chigozie Agbim underlines their ambitions for the new season.
Agbim, who was Nigeria’s first choice goalkeeper at the African Nations Championship, recently signed a one-year-deal with Gombe. And the club’s chairman, Farouk Yarma, believes the player can help propel the team towards their objectives for the coming campaign.
Yarma revealed that Gombe’s main goal is to secure a continental ticket, adding that their decision to sign Agbim was at the request of coach Maurice Cooreman.
“We retained the service of our chief coach because he did us proud last season after we finished on the seventh position in the Nigeria Professional Football League table,” Yarma said.
“So we have no reason to sack him, instead, we told him that he must give us a technical report for him to continue. He sent the report to the management of the club and they forwarded it to my office. I saw the recommendation where he said he needs certain players in certain positions.
“These positions include the cental defence and the goalkeeping area; that is why we signed Chigozie Agbim.”
