The home-based Super Eagles team might face a talent drain before the African Nations Championship rescheduled for August 2025, as one of their standout players, Papa Daniel Mustapha, is on the brink of joining an international club.
Papa Daniel Mustapha, currently a key player for the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Niger Tornadoes, is nearing a move abroad. Our sources reveal that an unnamed foreign club has shown keen interest in the dynamic midfielder, and he is expected to travel abroad by next weekend to finalize the deal.
Mustapha has been a remarkable presence in the NPFL this season, showcasing his exceptional skills and making a significant impact. His performance has been instrumental in the home-based Super Eagles’ successful qualification for the 2024 African Nations Championship.
With three goals and two assists in 16 appearances for Niger Tornadoes, the 23-year-old has proven his prowess on the field, capturing the attention of clubs beyond Nigeria's borders. Mustapha's potential move abroad is a testament to his hard work and talent, which have not gone unnoticed.
Before his impressive stint with Niger Tornadoes, Mustapha gained valuable experience playing for Adanaspor in the Turkish league. This international experience could serve him well as he prepares to embark on the next chapter of his career.
As Mustapha prepares to take his skills to the international stage, fans and pundits alike are eager to see how this promising talent will fare in a new environment. While his departure may pose a challenge for the home based Super Eagles, it also highlights the growing recognition of Nigerian footballers on the global scene.
