Transfer window closes today

Title contenders Sheikh Russel KC were the only team to have signed up a player in the mid-season play-ers' transfer window of the Bangladesh Premier League so far. The other teams were mulling the option whether to bring changes to their squads or to keep faith with their old guard ahead of the final day of transfers today.
The player Sheikh Russel signed up is no other than well-known Nigerian hitman Alamu Bukola, who played for the same club last season, but wasn’t offered a new contract in the pre-season window. Bukola, who played for Muktijoddha Sangsad earlier and was the highest goal-getter for Mohammedan SC in the second edition of the professional football league, remained without a club in the last few months.
While Sheikh Russel have strengthened their striking zone with the inclusion of Bukola, other clubs were waiting for the last day to make a prefect choice. However, a few clubs have already released a couple of foreign players.
Sheikh Jamal DC, who are in second position in the nine-team table, have already released Nigerian striker Kester Akon due to poor form and his compatriot Mike Otojareri due to injury even though they haven't confirmed any replacement.
“Two Nigerian strikers, who are now playing in China and Vietnam, are supposed to arrive here tonight
(Tuesday) as replacement for Otojareri and Kester while already-registered Nigerian defender Monday and midfielder Ikecukwu Okemmiri will join us before the start of the second leg,” said Sheikh Jamal DC manager Anwarul Azim Helal.
Abahani manager Satyajit Das Rupu informed that they were not going to sing up any new players, and were keeping faith on the old guard.
Abahani's archrivals Mohammedan however are going to make wholesale changes as they have released Augustine Chizoba of Nigeria, Koli Osman of Zambia, Mustapha Ibrahim of Ghana while keeping their sights on BJMC's Elita Kingsly and Nigerian duo Kajim and Kaderi who were on trial earlier. Cameroonian defender Baybeck fombagne will also join the Black and Whites in a few days.
However, relegation-threatened Brothers Union, Arambagh KS and Feni Soccer Club look doomed as they were yet to find proper replacements till yesterday.
“Amadi Moses and Goodwin were supposed to join Arambagh but they are not coming,” said Arambagh manager Kazi Jolly adding that they confirmed a Nigerian midfielder named Gerard.
Brothers Union released their Beninese striker Wassiou Okalawon and Ugandan defender Dumba Micheal and kept their sights on the foreign players staying in Bangladesh while Feni Soccer confirmed Wasiou Okalawon, Nigerian Anthony and a defender from Gambia. Feni freed Lamine Camara and Mostafa Kaba.
Team BJMC brought two Russian players but are seemingly in hesitation whether to give the Russian chance as they might not be very effective in a short period.
