Done Deal: Stoke City Sign Nigerian-Born Defender

Stoke City have completed the signing of Nigerian-born defender Bosun Lawal from Celtic.

Lawal penned a four-year contract with the Potters.

“Bosun is a player who I’ve followed closely for a number of years,” sporting director Jonathan Walters told the club’s official website.

“After competing with several top clubs, we are proud to have secured his signature.

“Our ambitions are perfectly aligned, and we believe he possesses all the attributes to reach the very top of the game.

“He is not only a fantastic addition to our squad but also a key part of our long term vision for the Club.

“We’re confident that his talent and drive will make a significant impact as we look to achieve our goals together.”

Lawal explained how conversations with some Potters’ favourites added to his enthusiasm for his Stoke City career to commence.

“The Club is massive, it didn’t need selling to me, but when I spoke to Glenn Whelan and Charlie Adam, who coached me for Ireland and Fleetwood, what they said about Stoke City really excites me for my journey here,” Lawal explained.
