Mukhtar Mohammed, a promising 21-year-old defender from El-Kanemi Warriors, is on the verge of completing a transfer to former Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions Kano Pillars ahead of the 2025-26 season.
According to reliable sources, Mohammed has been spotted in Kano Pillars' training camp, with negotiations at an advanced stage between the player and the club popularly known as Sai Masu Gida.
The young defender, who was a regular fixture in El-Kanemi Warriors' lineup during the 2024-25 NPFL campaign, is expected to officially join his new teammates in the coming days as preparations for the new season intensify.
Football analysts believe Mohammed's addition will significantly strengthen Kano Pillars' defensive options, providing much-needed depth to the squad as they aim to reclaim their position among Nigeria's elite clubs.
This potential transfer represents another strategic move in what has been an active transfer window for several NPFL clubs, with Rivers United, Shooting Stars, and Katsina United also making headlines with their recruitment efforts.
Meanwhile, other significant movements in the league include Super Eagles goalkeeper Bankole reportedly leaving Remo Stars after five years of service, and Plateau United commencing early preparations for the upcoming season.
