NNL: Gateway Utd's Ibukun Araromi Emerges Second Best Goal-keeper


Gateway United Football Club's first choice goalkeeper, Ibukun Araromi has emerged as the second best  goalkeeper with most clean sheets in the first stanza of the 2020/2021 Nigeria National League season.

According to the chart released by the league's media director, Amar Ignis titled Halfway stastitics NNL2020/2021,Araromi Ibukun with 7 clean sheets is narrowly behind Bankole Kayode of Remo Stars who topped the chat with 8 clean sheets 

Reacting to the impressive statistics, Araromi Ibukun thanked the coaching crew led by Hakeem Busari for believing in his ability even during tough period, promising to do much more in the second stanza.

"I have the Almighty to thank for this feat. I took the game one after the other. I know I could do much more and I will. Well, the reward for hard work is more work cos I see this as a commendation which will spur me to get better in between the sticks," he stated

"I cannot but thank the coaching crew led by Hakeem Busari for believing in him, even during difficult periods. I thank my teammates too. They do trust my instructions. As a goalkeeper, I see the game from the rear, and it's easier for me to organise the defence line so as not to be badly exposed. I will do much more this second stanza" 

The clean sheets were recorded against J.atete in Otu Jeremi, Delta, while the remaining six (Crown FC,  Ibom Youth, Godosky, Bendel Insurance, Abia Comet, Apex Krane) were at MKO Abiola Stadium, Kuto Abeokuta.

Araromi in a statement by the club's Media Officer,Moses Ojewumi, is expected to be in goal when Gateway United take on Insurance of Benin at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Saturday
