Former Bendel Insurance captain Efe Enabulele has emerged as a transfer target for several clubs following the end of his relationship with the Benin-based side at the conclusion of the 2025/2026 season.
Platinum News gathered exclusively that the experienced right-back, who is now a free agent, is attracting interest from a club in Nigeria’s South-West, another from the East, with two other clubs from the northern parts of the country also reportedly monitoring his situation.
Enabulele is renowned for his combative yet skilful style of play, impressive energy, pace and ability to deliver quality crosses from the right flank, attributes that have made him an influential figure in the teams he has represented.
The defender enjoyed a memorable spell with Bendel Insurance, captaining the Benin Arsenal to the Nigeria National League (NNL) title in 2022 before leading the side to FA Cup glory in 2023.
Banana, as fondly called for his “banana crossing style”, also skippered the team to the second preliminary round of the 2023/2024 CAF Confederation Cup, where Bendel Insurance narrowly lost to Moroccan giants and then-defending champions RS Berkane.
With his experience, leadership qualities and proven pedigree at domestic and continental levels, Enabulele is expected to attract further attention as clubs intensify efforts to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.
His next destination remains uncertain, but the former Bendel Insurance skipper appears poised for a new chapter in his football career.
