Abia Warriors close to signing Niger Tornadoes midfielder Michael Nelson

Abia Warriors are in advanced negotiations to sign Michael Nelson from Niger Tornadoes to strengthen their midfield for the upcoming NPFL season. The Abia-based club aims to improve on last season's performance by adding the experienced midfielder who previously played for Enyimba and El-Kanemi Warriors.

Katsina United and Plateau United are also reportedly interested in Nelson, indicating his value in the transfer market. His arrival would directly address Abia Warriors' midfield depth concerns as they prepare for next season's campaign.

Niger Tornadoes midfielder Nelson brings NPFL experience from multiple clubs, having featured for Enyimba and El-Kanemi Warriors before his Tornadoes stint. His potential move signals Abia's ambition to strengthen key positions ahead of the new season.

If Nelson joins Abia Warriors, how much do you think he'll immediately improve their midfield creativity and defensive cover for the upcoming NPFL campaign?
