Sports247 reports that the talented attacker has put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at the Minna-based club until 2028, becoming one of the latest additions to the squad ahead of the new campaign.
Fantami arrives at Niger Tornadoes following an impressive spell with Doma United, where he played a pivotal role in the club’s successful promotion push to the NPFL.
His performances throughout the season, particularly during the 2025/26 Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 4, attracted interest from several clubs before the Ikon Allah Boys secured his signature.
Known for his pace, creativity, and ability to operate on either flank, the young winger is expected to provide much-needed depth and versatility to Niger Tornadoes’ attacking department following the departure of key winger Dabai.
Sources close to the deal revealed that Fantami will earn a monthly salary of ₦500,000 under the terms of his new contract.
The signing underlines Niger Tornadoes’ determination to strengthen their squad and remain competitive in the upcoming NPFL season. Club officials have been active in the transfer market as they seek to build a balanced team capable of challenging for honours and improving on their recent performances.
For Fantami, the move represents another significant step in his career and an opportunity to prove himself at one of Nigeria’s established top-flight clubs.
The winger’s impressive displays in the NNL and his contribution to Doma United’s promotion campaign have marked him out as one of the emerging talents in domestic football.
The player is expected to join his new teammates immediately and begin preparations for the forthcoming season as Niger Tornadoes continue to shape their squad.
Supporters of the Ikon Allah Boys will be hoping that Fantami can replicate the form that made him one of Doma United’s standout performers and become an important figure in the club’s attacking setup.
With the new season fast approaching, Niger Tornadoes have signalled their intent with another strategic addition, and all eyes will now be on Yusuf Fantami as he embarks on a new chapter in Minna.
