[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)<br>Edel FC, a Nigeria National League (NNL) side based in Awka, have officially announced the departure of their leading striker Gukut Merpring Chindi, who is set to join Abia Warriors FC ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. The move follows Merpring’s recognition as Edel’s Highest Goal Scorer for April and May, when he netted five goals and provided one assist across seven matches.
<br>
<br>The young forward’s impressive form was pivotal as Edel FC edged away from relegation risk. Merpring caught the attention of several NPFL clubs before deciding to enlist with Abia Warriors fresh off their historic third-place NPFL finish and debut entry into the CAF Confederation Cup.

<br>We view Gukut Merpring’s [transfer](https://wiki.bibleportal.com/page/User_talk:AlbertOrx9033) as a strategic win for both player and club. For Abia Warriors, bringing in an [in-form striker](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/akor-adams-vows-to-do-his-bit-as-super-eagles-chase-world-cup-spot/) who’s already proven his value in competitive matches signals intent—not just to maintain league position, but to challenge on multiple fronts, including continental competition.

<br>Merpring leaves a reshaped Edel FC with momentum behind him. His goals helped the club avoid relegation in the NNL and earned him individual accolades in the [process](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-training-and-coaching/). Now, at Abia Warriors, talent meets stage: playing among NPFL’s elite while preparing for debut continental clashes.

<br>This signing also reflects a wider trend: clubs investing in domestic success stories, sourcing emerging talent from the NNL rather than relying solely on [high-profile transfers](https://thaprobaniannostalgia.com/index.php/User:Athena5032). If Merpring continues his scoring rhythm, he not only Abia’s season prospects, but also reinforces Nigeria’s grassroots-to-top-flight talent pipeline.

<br>In short, this move crystallises ambition grounded in form, and effort rewarded with opportunity.
