The 23-year-old has attracted interest from the four-time NPFL champions following his impressive performances for Kwara United over the last three seasons, where he established himself as one of the club’s most influential players.
Reports indicate that Kano Pillars have begun negotiations with Kwara United over a possible move for Shola, as the club looks to add more quality and creativity to its midfield department.
The Sai Masu Gida are believed to have offered the midfielder a two-year contract as they continue their plans to rebuild and improve their squad after a disappointing campaign last season.
Shola’s technical qualities, including his vision, passing ability, composure on the ball and threat from long-range, have made him an attractive option for Kano Pillars. The club hopes his arrival can provide more attacking ideas and balance in midfield under new manager Daniel Ogunmodede.
The midfielder’s stock rose further after he played a key role in Kwara United’s success in the 2025 President Federation Cup, where the club lifted the prestigious domestic trophy.
With Kano Pillars aiming to return to the top level of Nigerian football, securing a player of Shola’s experience and ability could prove crucial as they prepare for the new NPFL season.
