With the recent departure of their prolific 19-goal striker, Robert Mizo, Bayelsa United is turning their attention to Ugbune Efurievwe to lead the front line and steer the team away from relegation concerns.
Efurievwe, who joined Bayelsa United from Warri Wolves ahead of the current season, was originally intended to form a striking partnership with Mizo.

However, Mizo’s outstanding form, marked by 10 goals and one assist in 13 games this season, saw him earn a transfer to Al Hilal Benghazi in Libya.
The departure of Mizo opens the door for Efurievwe to showcase his goal-scoring prowess and make a significant impact on the team’s offensive strategy.
Although absent from the squad that will face Shooting Stars in Ibadan this Sunday, Efurievwe is expected to feature prominently in the upcoming home match against Bendel Insurance.
The coaching staff and fans alike are optimistic about Efurievwe’s ability to fill the void left by Mizo.
The young striker’s skills, combined with his experience in Nigerian football, make him a valuable asset as Bayelsa United seeks to secure positive results in the upcoming fixtures.
As the team prepares for the challenges ahead, all eyes will be on Efurievwe to lead the attack and contribute to Bayelsa United’s quest for success in the ongoing season.
