After a successful loan stint at Fleetwood, several clubs are vying for the signature of 20-year-old Bosun Lawal. Despite Fleetwood’s relegation from League One, Lawal’s standout performances have garnered attention.

His loan spell at Fleetwood has been instrumental in his development, with Lawal showcasing his versatility by excelling in various positions.
