Gbolahan Salami is looking forward to make his Irtysh Pavlodar of
Kazakhstan debut when they welcome FK Aty in the opening fixture of
the Kazakhstan Premier Liga March 11.
Salami signed a two-year contract with the club January 25 as free
agent after parting company with his Finnish club, Kuopion Palloseura.
While in the colours of the Finnish Premier League side, KuPS, Salami
scored 29 times in 67 appearances.
It is this scoring form he would want to transfer and replicate at
Irtysh Pavlodar when the season gets underway with FK Aty inside their
11,828 capacity Zentraistadion Pavlodar home ground.
The 27-year-old had played for Nigeria at the U20 and U23 levels.

Cape Town, South Africa.
After leaving KuPS, Salami was linked to a move to undisclosed club in
Turkey before finally sealing a deal with coach Gerard Nus Irtysh
Pavlodar.
His first drive into European football was in 2015 when he went on
loan from Warrior Wolves to Red Star Belgrade with an option of
permanent deal.
But two months after, Salami came back following Red Star Belgrade’s
financial handicap.
Soon after, work visa stopped his potential move Aston Villa of
England in April 2015.
Salami’s Nigerian intermediary, Yusuf, confirmed the Irtysh Pavlodar contract.
“Salami is now with a Kazakhstan club, Irtysh Pavlodar.
“He joined last month, just about three weeks ago”.
