Super Eagles B Team forward, Anas Yusuf, has seen his ambition of moving to Europe temporarily put on hold due to Nasarawa United’s poor run in the 2024/2025 NPFL season, Completesports.com has exclusively gathered.. Yusuf was expected to travel abroad during the January mid-season transfer window. However, the club’s management, while not opposed to his move for a career lift, declined to sanction the transfer, insisting it was not the right time as his departure would further compound the Solid Miners’ domestic top-flight woes..

Moreover, the January transfer window is not an ideal time to sign capable replacements.”. The 21-year-old, who has scored five goals for Nasarawa United this season, will be part of Super Eagles B Team squad for the 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN), set to be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania in August..
