“This is a difficult moment for us. We have not scored a goal since the start of the second stanza of the league,” the former Jasper United centre-back told Completesports.com in an exclusive interview.
“We’ve lost form and players to foreign trials, but we will surely bounce back.”
Kwara United Targeting Reinforcements In Key Areas
Explaining the source of his confidence, Ashifat reiterated that the club remains active in the transfer market while injured players have resumed training.
“When I say we’ll bounce back, I mean it in every sense. We’re trying to bolster the squad with fresh legs in the current transfer window.

“Our target is to strengthen the attack and midfield. That’s our area of concern. We’ve had to come from behind several times to win games. Conceding goals isn’t the problem; what matters most is how you respond when you fall behind.
“Once we get these players, I think things will get better for us. There are still 15 games on the fixture list, which means 45 points to play for. It’s still a long race, and we’ll get back on winning ways,” Ashifat submitted.
