East End Lions Coach Eyes Division One Talents Amid Transfer Gaps
East End Lions and Sierra Leone U20 head coach, Mohamed Lamin, has shown significant interest in two Division One teams, Umar FC from Falaba District and Urban Stars from Makeni currently competing in the ongoing regional playoffs in Makeni.
Umar FC made headlines after an impressive 3-0 win over a former Premier League side, signaling the presence of promising talent within the squad.
According to credible sources, individuals close to Coach Lamin have been attending the matches, presumably scouting players for the upcoming season.
The interest comes at a time when East End Lions is preparing for potential squad adjustments. Samuel Bakoe is expected to join Guinean side Hafia FC next season, while striker Musa Tombo Kamara has reportedly signed with Tunisian club CS Sfaxien. Both departures could leave significant gaps in the team’s attacking lineup.
Coach Lamin’s attention toward emerging talent from lower divisions aligns with a growing trend in Sierra Leonean football to invest in youth and regional players.
With the playoffs still ongoing, fans and analysts alike are closely watching to see which players might be tapped for the Premier League in the coming months.
