Abahani Limited is most likely to bid farewell to Sunday Chizoba after five years by replacing the Nigerian striker with Brazilian Francisco Torres.
Sunday, a prolific forward, has been playing in Bangladesh since 2011. He joined the Sky Blues in 2015 and was club’s top scorer during last Federation Cup and 2019-20 Premier League.
Torres, 31, played for Indonesian club Borneo FC previously. He also has experience playing in Kuwait, UAE, Sweden, Romania and Finland.
Abahani head coach Mario Lemos wants more goals from the new marksman. He said, “He [Torres] has very good movement inside the box.. We need someone who can finish. We are looking for Torres to score even more than Sunday.”
Torres is expected to join the six-time premier league winners before the season opening Federation Cup on December 22.
