Ikorodu City striker Tony Obia has officially completed his transfer to Mesarya SK, a football club in Cyprus. The move comes as a surprise, with the forward leaving the Lagos-based side just one game into the new Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season. Obia’s departure is seen as a significant loss for Ikorodu City, where he was expected to be a key player this season.
Obia’s swift exit from Ikorodu City comes after the striker impressed in pre-season games, showcasing his scoring abilities. His early-season departure highlights the growing trend of Nigerian players seeking opportunities in Europe, particularly in emerging football markets like Cyprus. By signing with Mesarya SK, Obia joins a club that is looking to bolster its attacking options as they compete in the Cypriot leagues.
For Ikorodu City, the move leaves a gap in their forward line as they aim to navigate the NPFL season without one of their top talents. However, the club will likely turn to other players to step up in Obia’s absence, while the striker embarks on a new chapter of his career in Cyprus.
