Pinnick To Block NPFL Players Joining Unknown Clubs

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, says his administration wants to see players from Nigeria’s Professional Football League move to major leagues in Europe.
Pinnick made this known while addressing the home-based Super Eagles in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
NPFL players are known for signing for clubs in the obscure leagues in tiny European countries, all in the name of seeking for greener pastures.
The FIFA top official assured the players that his administration will do everything possible to help them progress, before advising them to shun transfer to unknown clubs in Europe.
“I want to expose you people, to the highest levels, so, when you’re going to a foreign club, we won’t allow any agent to take you to countries like Cyprus, Belarus, etc, no never, we won’t allow it and I will make sure no transfer is issued on situations like that.
“If you’re leaving in Nigeria, you’re going to a top club such as, Villarreal, Valencia, Lille, and all those pride footballing clubs and not to one mushroom club that you’re better than,” he said.
