SKY CONFIRM: Oldham Athletic Strike Deal for Tunji Akinola
Sky Sports have confirm that Oldham Athletic have reached an agreement with Woking FC for the transfer of defender Tunji Akinola. The 25-year-old centre-back is set to make the switch to Boundary Park after an impressive season with the Cardinals, where he emerged as a standout performer in the National League.
Akinola, a product of West Ham United’s academy, brings a wealth of experience at both League Two and National League levels, having previously played for Leyton Orient and Partick Thistle. His move is seen as a major boost to Oldham’s defensive options as they prepare for another push towards promotion.
Sources close to the deal suggest personal terms have been agreed, with Akinola expected to undergo a medical in the coming days. The transfer is seen as a statement of intent from Oldham as they look to build a squad capable of challenging at the top of the table.
