LATEST: Sahel SC Show Interest in Kotoko Captain Samba O’Neil Ahead of Contract Expiry

Sahel Sporting Club, one of Niger’s most ambitious sides, have set their sights on securing the services of Asante Kotoko captain Samba O’Neil as his contract approaches its expiration at the end of the current season.

Sources close to the player indicate that the Nigerien club has been monitoring O’Neil’s performances throughout the campaign and are impressed by his leadership, consistency, and influence on the pitch. Sahel SC are expected to strengthen their squad ahead of next season, and O’Neil has emerged as a prime target.

The defender-midfielder hybrid, who has been a standout figure for Kotoko, is yet to extend his deal with the Porcupine Warriors. His contract situation has alerted several clubs across West Africa, but Sahel SC are reported to be among the most aggressive in pushing for his signature.

Asante Kotoko, meanwhile, are believed to be keen on retaining their captain but may face a tough challenge if negotiations do not progress before the season ends. With O’Neil free to enter discussions with other clubs as his contract winds down, the coming weeks could prove decisive for his future.

If the move materializes, O’Neil would become one of Sahel SC’s most high-profile signings in recent years, further bolstering their ambitions both domestically and on the continental stage.
