Nigerian striker Sikiru Alimi has officially resumed training with his new club, JS Saoura, marking the next phase in his career journey as the Eagles of the Desert look to benefit from his goal-scoring prowess.
Alimi, 29, earned a transfer to the Algerian top-flight side after a standout campaign with Remo Stars, where he played a pivotal role in securing the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League title. His impressive league performances and prior contributions at both domestic and continental levels raised his profile significantly.

The move to JS Saoura reflects his ambition to compete and succeed beyond Nigeria’s borders. He arrives with a reputation as one of the NPFL’s most consistent and dangerous forwards, particularly fresh off his historic title run with the Sky Blue Stars.
At Remo Stars, Alimi overcame a tough start to the season—grappling with emotional and tactical struggles—to emerge as a key contributor in the championship campaign. He also clinched a call-up to the home-based Super Eagles squad for CHAN and the Unity Cup, further validating his growing stature in Nigerian football.
Upon commencing training with JS Saoura, the forward vowed to give his all: “I’m eager to get started,” he declared. “I promise to deliver great results for the Eagles of the Desert.” (Quoted based on provided user info.)
Alimi’s first steps with JS Saoura bring both excitement and expectation.
Known for leading Remo Stars’ frontline to a first-ever national title, he now seeks to ignite JS Saoura’s attack—and potentially help drive them toward domestic and continental success.
