Suva eyes Solomon Warriors’ striker ahead of transfer window closure

In a significant move that could bolster their attacking lineup, Suva FC is reportedly in advanced negotiations to sign Solomon Warriors’ prolific striker Jaygray Sipakana. Sources close to the footballer reveal that the deal is nearing completion as the transfer window in Fiji approaches its end.

Sipakana first made his mark in the Solomon Cup, playing for Western Tomoko in 2020. His impressive performances caught the attention and led to his subsequent stint with Real Kakamora in the Telekom S-League. Demonstrating his exceptional skills and consistency, Sipakana then transitioned to Fiji, where he became a standout player for Nadi FC.

Currently with the Solomon Warriors, the reigning national champions in the Solomon Islands, Sipakana has continued to excel. At 31 years old, his experience and goal-scoring prowess were recently showcased during the 2024 edition of the OFC Champions League, where he represented the Warriors.

With the transfer window nearing its closure, Suva is eager to finalize the deal and add Sipakana to their roster. The striker’s decision is expected within the coming days, which could significantly impact Suva’s campaign this season.
