In the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) this season, one name has consistently stood out among football enthusiasts, fans, and pundits alike: Adedayo Olamilekan, the attacking midfield maestro of Remo Stars.
A product of Ajax FC, Ifo, Ogun State and Remo Football Academy, Iperu Remo, Olamilekan was identified and brought to the limelight by Coach Daniel Ogunmodede ‘Ijaball’ and he has since become an essential figure in the club’s remarkable campaign.
His versatility has provided the Remo Stars’ midfield with the dynamism and resilience needed to break down even the toughest opponents in the NPFL. The 2003-born midfielder has particularly excelled in the attacking midfield role, and his performances could soon earn him a significant market value upgrade in the transfer market.
This season, Olamilekan has registered five goals and one assist in 26 NPFL matches, playing a pivotal role in Remo Stars’ attacking efforts. His crucial goals have come against Shooting Stars (home), Akwa United (away), Abia Warriors (home), Heartland FC (home), and Enyimba FC (home), showcasing his ability to deliver in high-stakes encounters.
His impact in midfield has been instrumental to Remo Stars’ title push. Without his adaptability and technical ability, it is difficult to envision the club maintaining its current position at the top of the NPFL table. With 60 points from 30 games, Remo Stars are on course for a historic league triumph, and Olamilekan’s contributions cannot be overlooked.
As the season nears its climax, all eyes will remain on Olamilekan to see if his performances can drive Remo Stars to their ultimate goal—NPFL glory.
