Heart of Lions have made significant progress in their pursuit of former Dreams FC and Mukura Victory Sports of Rwanda centre-back Abdul Jalilu, with negotiations between both parties advancing positively.
The Kpando-based club is determined to strengthen its defensive department ahead of the new Ghana Premier League season, and Jalilu has emerged as one of its top transfer targets due to his experience and proven quality.
Sources close to the negotiations indicate that talks have been encouraging, with both the player’s representatives and Heart of Lions making steady progress toward reaching an agreement. While a deal has not yet been finalized, there is growing optimism that the transfer could be completed in the coming days.
Jalilu is highly regarded for his strength in aerial duels, calmness under pressure, positional awareness, and leadership qualities at the back. His previous spells with Dreams FC in Ghana and Mukura Victory Sports in Rwanda have equipped him with valuable domestic and international experience, making him an attractive option for the ambitious Premier League side.
Heart of Lions are looking to assemble a competitive squad capable of challenging at the top end of the league table, and the addition of Jalilu would significantly enhance their defensive options.
Should negotiations conclude successfully, the experienced centre-back is expected to become one of the club’s key signings ahead of the new campaign as Heart of Lions continue to reinforce their squad with quality additions.
