France Ligue 1 side Lorient now have three Nigerian players on their books as they begin plans for next season following the start of pre season training.
Aside the duo of Innocent Bonke and Terem Moffi, Lorient also added Taofeek Ismaheel to their squad, a winger they signed from Norwegian side Fredrikstad in January and decided to send him on loan to fellow Norwegian side Valerenga.
Taofeek has now joined the rest of the team in pre season training and Bonke has taken him under his wings ensuring that he settles on time. ” He (Taofeek) will stay with me until he is able to secure an apartment of his own. I told him to leave the hotel where he put up upon arrival. The idea is to help him settle on time”, Bonke told OwnGoalNigeria.com in an exclusive chat.
” It’s pure joy for me to see another Nigerian here with me. Now we are three and I have told him what to do if he wants to establish himself as a regular. My dream is for all three of us to be in the team all the time”, he rounded up saying.
