Babajide joins El Merrikh on a three-year contract, with an option for an additional year, making him the second Nigerian player to join the team this season.

This follows the signing of Nigeria’s Super Eagles goalkeeper Ojo Olorunleke, who recently penned a three-year deal with the club.

El Merrikh’s management expressed confidence that Babajide’s inclusion will significantly enhance the team’s offensive capabilities as they prepare for the challenges of the new season.
