Assistant Coach of Rivers United, Yemi Olanrewaju, has reemphasised that his focus is on his present club despite recent links and rumours to top sides in the Nigeria Premier Football League, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Olanrewaju stated that he has a cordial working relationship with his present employers at Rivers United and his boss, Finidi George, noting that they have intensified preparations ahead of the 2026/27 season.

According to him, "I am a coach with credibility and values, and there are many things I hold in high esteem, and one of them is Respect. I love Shooting and its project, and we have had contacts in the past and it is a club I will always consider, but for now, my focus and everything is with Rivers as I would like to honour my contract till the end of the season.

"I don’t like to abandon a contract and run halfway. Rivers United management have been so good and kind to me, and the trust they place in me is unbelievable and also my boss ElFINITO.

 "Shooting Stars is a club I will always feel honoured to be linked with or mentioned with. If the opportunity comes again in the future, I'll be glad to consider it, as I believe the union will be massive.

"Thank you, everyone. The tags on Twitter and dm from some fans are something that will make me work harder."
