WHY ADEBAYOR IS YET TO JOIN AMAZULU FC

The 26-year-old winger from Niger, who played for Botola Pro side RS Berkane in Morocco, has applied for his Visa and is awaiting approval from the Department of Home Affairs.

“We’ve signed Adebayor from Niger. He was playing for a team in Morocco. Unfortunately, he’s waiting for his visa,” Sandile Zungu told FARPost. 

“He’s still stuck in Niger. He’s been signed, we’re just waiting for the visa. The last we checked, the air space was closed in Niger.”

The Durban outfit already have Yakhouba Gnagna Barry arriving from Conakry, Guinea, after penning a deal with the club.

“With those two plus Sede Dion and Riaan Hanamub, we’ve got a good foreign contingent to make the starting line-up any day.”

WHERE DID ADEBAYOR PLAY?

Adebayor began his professional career with AS Douanes in Niger in 2016. He moved to Ghana in 2018 to join Inter Allies, where he scored 12 goals in 28 appearances. In 2019, he moved to Legon Cities, where he scored 10 goals in 26 appearances.

In 2022, Adebayor moved to Moroccan club RS Berkane. Adebayor is a versatile forward who can play as a striker or winger. 

He is known for his pace, dribbling skills, and finishing ability. He will be hoping to add to his goal tally at AmaZulu FC and help the club push for a top-four finish.

The highly rated Adebayor’s arrival is a major coup for AmaZulu FC. He is a talented player who has the potential to make a big impact in the PSL. The club’s fans will be excited to see him in action.
