Edel FC have confirmed the departure of their top scorer, Chindi Merpring, to Abia Warriors ahead of the 2025/2026 NPFL season.
Merpring scored four goals during the just-concluded NNL campaign under Coach Sylvanus Okpalla, helping Edel avoid relegation.
The striker emerged as a key target for Abia Warriors boss, Imama Amapakabo, as the club strengthens its squad for the new season and CAF Confederation Cup.
“Yes, we’re aware of Chindi’s departure,” Edel FC Team Manager, Myckie Chukwuebuka, told reporters. “He was our top scorer last season, and now has a big opportunity with Abia Warriors. We wish him all the best.”
