Lincoln City are among several Championship clubs to have made initial contact to explore a deal for Elfsborg's 24-year-old Nigerian defender, Ibrahim Buhari. Cardiff City and Portsmouth have also made inquiries about signing the defender during the summer transfer window. Kasimpasa from Turkey have also asked about his availability. Buhari, who has started only one league match for Elfsborg this season, is entering the last six months of his contract. It is suggested that he is likely to leave the club. Elfsborg's asking price remains unclear, and more teams are expected to attempt to sign him. The Nigeria U23 international joined his current club in September 2022. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.50m.
