Attacking midfielder, Ayo Saka will start his first game for Enyimba in Matchday Eight of the NPL against leaders, Gombe United in Aba on Sunday.
The Nigerian playmaker joined the Peoples Elephant from Ocean Boys at the start of the 2011/2012 season.
Saka, who has been kept off the pitch due to transfer formalities, told SuperSport.com that he is keenly looking forward to the weekend debut against the team of the moment, Gombe United.
"I will start playing for Enyimba at the weekend against Gombe United.
"I am excited making my debut with such a high profile game.
"Gombe United are the team to beat at the moment, they are strong both at home and away.
"So it will be a big fun starting my first game against them," he said.
<>Saka, is however, certain that the Aba landlords will clip the wings of the visitors at the end of the duel.
"It will be tough for both sides who will want to bounce back to winning ways after suffering defeats in their last games.
"But it will be a tall order for Gombe United to hope to pick points from that game.
"We can't compromise with the three points. We need it badly to improve our position on the log," he said.
Enyimba have raked in nine points from a possible 18.
