Lion City Sailors sign former Liverpool academy forward Bobby Adekanye

Singapore Premier League club Lion City Sailors announced the acquisition of 27‑year‑old forward Bobby Adekanye on a two‑year deal. The Nigerian‑born, Netherlands‑youth international joins as a left‑footed attacker capable of playing on the wing or as a second striker. Adekanye developed in the youth systems of Ajax, Barcelona and Liverpool, and later featured for Lazio in Serie A, Cádiz in La Liga and Go Ahead Eagles in the Dutch Eredivisie, also appearing in the UEFA Europa League. He arrived in Singapore after a season‑and‑a‑half spell in Turkey, citing the club’s vision and ambition as key reasons for the move. Director of Football Luka Lalić praised Adekanye’s technical quality and unpredictable style, expecting him to add pace and creativity to the Sailors’ attack and help the team compete for trophies.
