Akinola's move from Arsenal to C.F. Estrela da Amadora collapses

Posted : 01 February 2024

Tim Akinola, a product of Arsenal's youth system, has faced a setback in his anticipated transfer to the Portuguese club C.F. Estrela da Amadora. The young Nigerian midfielder, who earned an invitation to Nigeria's Olympic National Team in 2022, was on the verge of finalizing his move and was scheduled to travel to Portugal on January 31 for this purpose. However, the deal unexpectedly collapsed, causing disappointment for both the player and the Primeira Liga club.


C.F. Estrela da Amadora had initially agreed to sign Akinola as a central midfielder, but the club informed him of the deal's cancellation just as he was preparing to board a plane to Portugal. The sudden turn of events has left the 22-year-old player in a state of uncertainty, especially considering the significant effort he had put into terminating his contract with Qatari club Al Bidda SC, a move that would have enabled him to join C.F. Estrela da Amadora as a free agent.


Had the transfer gone through, Akinola would have committed to a two-year contract with the option for an additional year. This would have marked a new chapter in his football career, transitioning from his experiences in English football with Lincoln City, Huddersfield Town, and Arsenal, where he arrived in 2020. During his time at Arsenal, Akinola embarked on loan spells with Dundee United and Chesterfield, accumulating a total of 32 appearances for both clubs, including a notable presence in the National League playoffs final against Notts County in May 2023.


The collapse of this intended move raises questions about the reasons behind C.F. Estrela da Amadora's decision to withdraw from the deal, leaving Akinola in search of alternative opportunities. The unpredictable nature of football transfers often involves various factors, and it remains to be seen how Akinola will navigate this unexpected turn in his career. Despite the setback, the young midfielder's talent and experience could attract interest from other clubs, leading to potential new possibilities on the horizon. The football world is known for its twists and turns, and Akinola's journey in the sport is sure to continue with resilience and determination.
