Icon4s: When once you have a fantastic creative attacking midfielder who can finish, then you have a brilliant striker in the making. Sigurdsson played brilliantly as a top man for Swansea yesterday against Arsenal. Although he is a creative midfielder, Bradley noticed he can finish and Sigurdsson delivered yesterday. When you look at Messi, he is great at a lot of things, crossing, passing, dribbling and pressing. However, his finishing is one of the best of all time. When he played regularly up top, very few came close. Iheanacho has the creative midfield attributes. I doubt any serious City fan or coach doubts that. His best ability is finishing. He finishes better than he crosses, Passes, press, or marks. To get the best if him, playing him up front achieves this. That was why he made the headlines last season and will make more headlines. "At his age, his finishing around the box puts him in a class of his own. He usually scores five goals during our training sessions. "Once you give him the space and allow him to control the ball around the goal area, he can convert three of the five chances he gets. He is that good."...Manu Garba on Iheanacho's finishing. |

ALAMPASU PLEASED HE IS NOW PLAYING REGULARLY IN PORTUGAL ![]() Alampasu with his agent Orelaja (right) at Feirense Nigeria goalkeeper Dele Alampasu has said he is delighted he is now playing regularly in Portugal after he moved on loan from Feirense. Alampasu left newly promoted Portuguese Primera Liga club CD Feirense for FC Cesarense in the lower division. The former Nigeria U17 goalkeeper has now played all the games for Cesarense since joining them, and he says he hopes to return to his parent club a better player. “I am playing regularly here now,” he said. “My target is to return to my parent club a much improved and better player and that way I stand a better chance of earning the number 1 shirt there.” The 19-year-old Alampasu surprised not a few people when he left Feirense on loan in the summer, as they had been promoted to compete in the Portuguese top-flight, returning to the lower division with Cesarense. “I didn’t have enough playing time at Feirense which is not good for my development,” he said. “I am still a player of Feirense, as I’m only out on loan, but I left because I needed to be playing games as I couldn’t get better with only training.” Source: http://africanfootball.com//news/655905/Alampasu-pleased-he-is-now-playing-regularly-in-Portugal 1 Like |

How I describe Nacho sums it all up.... He's a No.10/No.9 Super Hybrid. An AMF who can play comfortably as an SS and a ST/CF. A No.10 who can finish better than most no.9s. His finishing ranks among the top two of his many wonderful attributes, the other is His "Vision" ![]() A Super Hybrid "Forward" who's naturally endowed with the characteristics of an AMF (no.10) and RWF but is also a keen operator as a no.9, a false 9 and a support striker. Look, Pep Guardiola better not turn a blind eye to Nacho's international games for Nigeria. He better look into how Nacho sets up also in the Super Eagles. Nacho will score loads of goals playing behind the striker for Nigeria. His Vision, quick thinking, and finishing are world class. Pep berra not limit him to just the "aguero role" coz Nacho offers much more than Aguero as an all-round forward. I don talk my own. I dey watch Pep and the man city midfielders in 3D and HD.

UCHE AGBO NOW 19 GAMES AWAY FROM SEALING WATFORD TRANSFER ![]() Nigeria’s Uche Agbo is now just 19 games away from completing his transfer to Premier League club Watford from Granada in La Liga. Agbo has signed a four-year contract with Watford but he can only move to England if he has played 25 games or records 75% of international games with Nigeria. Compatriot Isaac Success completed his move to Watford this season after he made 30 appearances in La Liga for Granada and scored six goals last season. The 20-year-old central defender or defensive midfielder has yet to debut for the Super Eagles even though he got his first-ever call-up for the recent World Cup qualifier against Zambia. It is looking more like his quickest route to the Premier League will therefore be his appearances for his La Liga club. On Saturday, he came on as a second half substitute for Granada as they were battered 7-1 by league leaders Atletico Madrid. It was his sixth appearance, a figure he achieved all of last season. Interestingly, new Granada manager Lucas Alcaraz played him in his more familiar defensive midfield than as a central defender, the position he has played in his first league matches this season. Granada are rock of La Liga with two points after eight matches. Source: http://africanfootball.com//news/655900/Uche-Agbo-now-19-games-away-from-sealing-Watford-transfer 1 Like |

CHELSEA BOSS CONTE HAILS 'FANTASTIC' VICTOR MOSES ![]() Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has again praised Victor Moses after he scored from his new wing-back position in a convincing 3-0 home win over Leicester. Victor Moses scored in the 80th minute before he was replaced by fellow Nigerian Olaoluwa Aina two minutes later. “When I arrived at Chelsea I told the club I wanted to see Victor in pre-season because I knew him very well and I knew about his great potential. He played well as a winger when we were playing with a 4-2-4,” Conte said after the game. “He’s a very good player, now he’s playing as a wing-back and it’s fantastic because he pays great attention in defence and can go one against one in attack. “Alonso always played this role but Moses is a winger. His education is fantastic. I’m pleased for him. “If someone shows they deserve to play I have no problem, I don’t care about the surname.” Source: http://africanfootball.com/news/655760/Chelsea-boss-Conte-hails-fantastic-Victor-Moses 1 Like |

Aluko scores in Fulham win ![]() Sone Aluko continued his rich vein of form in front of goal on Saturday as he scored in Fulham’s 4-2 win over Barnsley in the Championship. The Nigerian forward hit a fine finish in the 42nd minute to ensure the Cottagers went into the break level after goals from Marley Watkins and Sam Winnall had come either side of a goal from Chelsea loanee, Lucas Piazon. Aluko’s goal exemplified a cool head and predatory finishing at its apex as he latched onto Stefan Johansen's flick on to get in behind the Barnsley defence. With Adam Davies in the Barnsley goal making himself big, Aluko maintained his composure to slot home. It was his third goal in the campaign as he continues to play his part in Fulham’s charge to win promotion at the end of the season. After a difficult fortnight for him and Fulham, Aluko was pleased at the dramatic turnaround as he promptly took to Instagram to voice his sentiments. “What a contrast. The joy of scoring and the win today compared to the final whistle 2 weeks ago. #PrayedForThatFeelingFor2Weeks # ThankYouJesus,” he wrote on Saturday.

CSKA MOSCOW TO RE-SIGN AHMED MUSA IF LEICESTER MOVE FLOPS ![]() Ahmed Musa - Tough going at Leicester City Russian champions CSKA will be willing to re-sign Nigeria star Ahmed Musa should his big-money move to Leicester City crash. Ahmed Musa reportedly cost the Premier League champions 18 million pounds in the summer when he joined up from the Russian army club. However, the Nigeria winger has yet to explode in the Premier League as widely expected as Leicester have also struggled to match the run they chalked up last season. “Ahmed is still loved and highly rated at CSKA, where he played for five seasons and there are strong indications that should he for any reason fail to shine in England, they will be only too happy to resign him,” a source close to the forward revealed. The 24-year-old Nigeria star, who has been nominated for the CAF African Footballer of the Year 2016, has made five appearances in the Premier League for ‘The Foxes’ with only two starts and has yet to find the back of the net. Leicester City are 13th on the table, while CSKA are second on the table in Russia with 21 points from 10 matches, a point behind leaders Spartak Moscow.
