Kano Pillars sure of grabbing Chikatara after CHAN

Kano Pillars have said Nigeria CHAN hero, Chisom Chikatara, has given them his word he will sign for them in the new season should he still be in the domestic league by then.
Abia Warriors striker Chikatara, 21, announced his emergence on the international stage on Monday when he came off the bench to fire three goals for Nigeria to beat Niger 4-1 and get off to winning start at CHAN 2016.
“We have not signed any contract papers with Chikatara, but he has given us his word that Kano Pillars is the club he will play for next season if by then, he is still playing in the league,” Pillars spokesman Idris Malikawa disclosed.
“He approached us and he said he would love to play for us.”
Last year, ‘Kolanut boy’ Chikatara had trials in Switzerland but Abia Warriors said the offer was too poor to consider.
Last season, Christian Obiozor joined Pillars after he scored the winner for Nigeria against Zimbabwe in a third-place match at the 2014 CHAN in South Africa.
However, midway through the campaign the big striker opted to quit the four-time league champions.
