Enyimba, Warri Wolves Pursue Kun Khalifat Defender Lekan Gabriel for 2026-27 NPFL Season
Enyimba and Warri Wolves have expressed concrete interest in signing Kun Khalifat defender Lekan Gabriel ahead of the 2026‑27 Nigeria Professional Football League season. Gabriel, a central defender, featured regularly for Kun Khalifat last campaign and earned a reputation for aggressive marking and consistent performances. Both clubs are looking to bolster their backlines after under‑performing defensively in the previous season, and they view Gabriel as a player whose work rate could immediately improve their defensive solidity.
The NPFL transfer window remains open, and a transfer could materialize if negotiations between the clubs and Khalifat progress smoothly. While no fee or personal terms have been disclosed, observers note that Gabriel’s rising profile makes him a likely target for other top‑flight sides as well.
For fans, the move would strengthen either Enyimba’s or Warri Wolves’ defensive options and could shift the balance of power in the league race. Will Gabriel’s potential move bolster Enyimba’s title challenge or give Warri Wolves the defensive edge needed to climb the table, and how might his absence affect Kun Khalifat’s prospects next season?
