The Pride of Lagos have strengthened their attacking options with the signing of experienced striker Ibrahim Ayoola, completing a deal that signals clear intent ahead of the crucial stages of the season.
Ayoola arrives with valuable European exposure, having last featured for FC Slovácko in the Czech Republic, where he gained experience competing at a high tactical and physical level.
Known for his movement off the ball, aerial presence, and eye for goal, the striker is expected to add cutting edge and depth to Lagos’ frontline as the team pushes for consistency and results.
Club officials expressed confidence that Ayoola’s experience abroad will translate quickly into impact on the domestic scene, particularly in high-pressure fixtures.
His arrival is seen as a strategic move to bolster attacking efficiency, an area the team has been keen to improve in recent outings.
Attention now shifts to the highly anticipated South-West Derby as the Pride of Lagos prepare to host Shooting Stars Sports Club (Oluyole Warriors) at the iconic Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan.
The derby is expected to draw significant attention, with both sides eager to assert regional dominance and secure vital league points.
There is growing anticipation among supporters that Ayoola could make his debut in the derby, potentially featuring alongside other new signings.
His inclusion would add intrigue to an already intense rivalry, as fans look forward to seeing how quickly the striker can adapt to his new environment.
