Kun Khalifat Strengthen Squad With Enyimba, Niger Tornadoes Midfielders
Retold by Oddsrama · 15 July 2026
Kun Khalifat have moved quickly in the transfer market, bringing in four midfield and defensive recruits as they aim for a stronger 2026–2027 NPFL campaign. The Owerri outfit announced the signings of Hogan Umoh from Enyimba and Chima Deruo from Niger Tornadoes, both midfielders, alongside centre-back Preye Seikrowei from Bendel Insurance and defensive midfielder Ediri Ejogharado from Calabar Rovers. All four players have completed their paperwork and are now officially registered with the club.
The recruitment drive is an urgent one — Kun Khalifat scraped survival last season, narrowly avoiding the drop under Coach Obinna Uzoho. That narrow escape has lit a fire in the camp, prompting the hierarchy to reinforce the squad's engine room and backline ahead of the new season. A stronger midfield presence and added defensive cover should help them avoid another nail-biting finish and push for a more comfortable league position.
From a betting perspective, this overhaul matters for their season odds and match-day form. Team strength and squad depth directly influence how bookmakers price their fixtures and how punters should approach backing them week to week. If these acquisitions integrate well and Uzoho's tactics click, Kun Khalifat could surprise some sides early in the campaign — always worth monitoring for value in league markets and to-finish-in odds.
