Exclusive : Abia Warriors To Play Hard Ball Over Sale Of Enyimba, Warri Wolves & Ikorodu United Target Chisom Chikatara

Allnigeriasoccer.com can confirm that  Enyimba have set the ball rolling in their bid to sign Chisom Chikatara from Abia Warriors ahead of the 2016 season.

But Enyimba face a major stumbling block to land the signature of the Nigeria international as it is envisaged that Abia Warriors will play hard ball, with the leadership of the club vowing not to sell the striker to a rival team, though no official approach has been made yet by the newly - crowned Nigeria Professional Football League champions.

Before the start of the 2015 campaign, Abia Warriors suits authorized the sale of their influential skipper Chima Uluocha to the Aba side while Peter Onyekachi was farmed out on loan, but they are not in favour of doing transfer business with their neighbors again as they have set a target of winning the league next season.

Chisom Chikatara has seen his stock rise over the last one year given his impressive displays for Abia Warriors, which led to an invitation to the home - based Super Eagles for their African Nations Championship qualifiers against Burkina Faso.

The likes of Ifeanyi Ubah, Enugu Rangers, Sunshine Stars, Warri Wolves and NPFL newcomers Ikorodu United have all made contact with the 20 - year - old striker regarding a transfer.

Chisom Chikatara has contractual obligations with Abia Warriors until December 2018.
