If he is an attacking midfielder... Pasiero should invite him asap quickly run change of narionality for him.

An hour played and Ademola Lookman is running the show for Atalanta vs Sporting CP on the left side of attack and through that left halfspace. He has created the most chances (3) in the game so far.

Atalanta still leads 2-0 away in Portugal.

Andrew Uwe a very tall player and handsome dude.

He was undergraduate student of University of Ife now OAU and still played the game in local league.He was a strong player of Nigeria league revolutionaries Leventis United that won FA cup as division three club.

He captained Nigeria U20 team to Moscow 85.Uwe was a product of Jossy Lad in local scenes and Paul wonder boy Halmiton in National Team and captained Super eagles under Paul Halmiton.

He was member of Nigeria Seoul Olympic team and Marco 88 where he fitted in for Stephen Keshi cuz Keshi was in and out of the tournament due reluctance of Anderlecht to release him fully.Keshi played just two matches and both against Cameroon in group stage and final.

Andrew Uwe fizzled out after Algier 90 due to Uche Okechucwu rise and returned of Stephen Keshi.Also Westerhoff didn’t rate him cuz Ajibade Babalade and Isaac Semitoje are real covers despite playing in Nigeria league.

Andrew Uwe was a charismatic captain just like Stephen Keshi and always seen as Keshi successor but failed to make it in Europe.

Yes Ben Iroha and Ayo Ogunlana are squad players just like Toyin Ayinla,they are always on bench in Algier 90.

Ayo Ogunlana of Rancher Bees remained the best Nigeria free kicks taker,he does it like taking penalties.

Could the dearth of quality AMs in the National team be a direct consequence of our poor performance in youth football in recent years?

Our various youth teams have been the production line thru which we get quality Midfielders in the past.

Etim Esin, Mutiu Adepoju, Jay Jay okocha, Thompson Oliha,Wilson Oruma,pius Ikedia,Mikel obi, Haruna lookman all came thru the youth ranks.

Our local league hasn't really come thru for us in this regard with only Friday Ekpo the only quality Midfielder I can identify that the league has given us and it is not every time quality Midfielders pop up randomly in Europe. Only Sunday Oliseh, Joel obi and Obodo have popped up for some time.

We might need to pay more attention to the youth teams u17 to u23 if we need to discover more AMs for the NT.

Correction: the assist initially credited to Ogbu actually goes to teammate, Conrad Wallem.

So, it's Ogbu with a goal and a commanding defensive start to the game.

Arsenal are watching Fiorentina fullback Michael Kayode.

The defender has impressed in the early rounds of this season under coach Vincenzo Italiano.

Italy U21 international Kayode is already attracting interest from the Premier League.

Firenze Viola says Arsenal have been alerted to Kayode by their scouts.

The London giants had scouts in place when Fiorentina beat Cagliari 3-0 on Monday to check on the youngster.

However, Fiorentina hopes to secure Kayode on a new contract. His current deal extends to 2025 with an option for another year

I won't put too much mind to it if I were you... In today's football,the attacking midfield role is being phased out gradually.. Most top teams these days don't play with a recognized attacking midfielder.. What we have now afe central midfielders who can function in both offensive and defensive role.... Gone are those days when teams rely soley on AMs for creativity... Today, we have teams that build their offensive play from defence...
