With a staggering 10 goals to his name this season, Owolabi Aremu has emerged as one of the most lethal strikers in the Nigeria National League (NNL). The 20-year-old Wikki Tourist forward has been on a tear, netting 8 times in the league and 2 times in the President Federation Cup, leaving defenders and goalkeepers in his wake.
Aremu’s impressive performance in the NNL saw him top the scoring charts in the Northern Conference Centre, playing a crucial role in Wikki Tourist’s success. He was ever-present for coach Azeez Mohammed, featuring in all 16 games and providing 4 assists in addition to his 8 goals.
Although Wikki Tourist narrowly missed out on the NPFL Promotional playoffs, finishing third with 29 points in the NNL Conference C standings, Aremu’s talent and potential have not gone unnoticed. The former Kebbi United and Kwara United forward has reportedly attracted interest from top NPFL clubs, a testament to his hard work and skill on the pitch.
Aremu’s optimism is palpable as he looks forward to adding to his goal tally when Wikki Tourist takes on EFFC in the round of 16 of the President Federation Cup in Kano on Wednesday. With his impressive form and confidence, he is sure to be a threat to any defense.
As he continues to grow and develop as a player, Aremu’s future looks bright. Whether he stays with Wikki Tourist or makes a move to a top NPFL club, one thing is certain – Owolabi Aremu is a name to remember in Nigerian football.
