SINGIDA Black Stars head coach Patrick Aussems has confirmed that new recruit, Victorien Adebayor, is set to make his Premier League debut after recently joining the team’s training camp.

Adebayor, who arrived this season from AS GNN of Niger, had been following a specialized training program to ensure his fitness.

The left-footed attacker, who was previously on loan at AS GNN from South African club AmaZulu FC, has yet to feature for Singida Black Stars due to his tailored fitness regimen. 

His late arrival to the camp was due to family matters, delaying his integration with the rest of the squad.

“Adebayor needed more time because he joined the team late due to family issues. He had to settle in Singida first, and we’re grateful for his development. He’s now ready to play for the team,” Aussems said.

The coach (pictured) confirmed that Adebayor was expected to join full team training sessions starting yesterday, alongside other new signings who arrived over the weekend. 

Adebayor is now expected to be included in the squad for their upcoming league match against JKT Tanzania on September 29.

Singida Black Stars recently returned to Singida after securing a 1-0 win over Pamba FC in Mwanza, a result that has solidified their position at the top of the league table with 12 points from four matches.

The addition of Adebayor offers head coach Aussems greater tactical flexibility, as the player is capable of playing effectively on both wings and as a central striker. 

This versatility will provide the gaffer with more options to rotate his squad and adapt to different game situations.

With Adebayor joining the likes of Elvis Rupia and Joseph Guede, Singida Black Stars now boast a formidable attacking lineup. 

The team has scored seven goals and conceded just two, keeping them in high spirits ahead of their weekend clash with JKT Tanzania.
