codemaniacs: In the past 2 years and presently, Epl isn’t just one of the best leagues in the world, it is the BEST league in the world. You forgot the part that I said “inform” if any of the players you listed can perform at the big 3, they will take precedence over backwater league players. Quality over Quantity. There’s a reason why I didn’t rank lookman ahead of dennis on current form 2 Likes |

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) expressed "excitement" and "delight" after former England youth international Ademola Lookman was cleared by Fifa to play for them at senior level. Football's world governing body, Fifa, approved the 24-year-old's switch from England, for whom he helped win the Under-20 World Cup in 2017. The Leicester City forward was eligible to play for the Super Eagles through his parents and the clearance means that he could play in the two-legged 2022 World Cup play-off against Ghana next month. "We are excited about this positive news because it comes as a major boost for the national team," NFF director of communications, Ademola Olajire, told BBC Sport Africa. "He's now eligible to play for Nigeria starting with next month's matches, but a decision whether to invite him or not is the sole responsibility of the coach. "Lookman is a great addition to the Super Eagles and after a long wait, we are delighted that he can finally play for us." Long road Having represented England at Under-19, Under-20 and Under-21 level, Lookman will be looking to play for the West African nation in major tournaments like the Africa Cup of Nations and the Fifa World Cup. But the process to get him to switch international allegiance began in 2020 when the team secretary Dayo Enebi prepared all the required documents on the NFF's part. However, the application suffered a long delay due to the player's inability to sort out his Nigerian passport aa well as his failure to provide a written request for a change of association in line with Fifa regulations. Lookman only completed the paperwork this week which enabled the NFF to file a fast track application for his clearance. https://www.bbc.com/sport/africa/60346350 1 Like |

komekn: Do not pretend as if you do not get what the bolded meant. All this while, Lookman was not ready to switch. Probably holding out to see if he had a chance with the English team. As long as he did not produce that request, NFF could not proceed with the switch. As soon as he sent the request, it was possible to make the switch. So you can end your campaign that the NFF were the ones delaying the switch. It was Lookman. FINITO. 4 Likes |

Joezinho: He should be allowed to play the role he plays at Rangers. He should be freed up to shoot and score imo. This sacrifice that barely makes the middle have their own chance at goal is stale o. 1 Like 1 Share |

andrewbaba44: ![]() Me i don Taya for Nigerians sha. We sometimes forget that we are using the best we got at hand for XI, and if a better comes, the better will/should start in no time. That's how they said Saka will chop bench for Euros. Now Lookman go chop bench? Yet Dennis must start? ![]() Right now in SE, its only Ndidi And Ekong that have starters shirts anyday, anytime. The rest can be benched. Lol For his pinpoint crossing ability, I'll love to see a Lookman start ahead of a not fully fit Chuks. Only Aina i remember, was crossing from the RW at Afcon mostly. Lookman will add a lot to that RW. Easily reminds of VicMo. But if they want to start him at left, all well and good. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Some peeps are funny here.. Lookman's addition is great news. It adds to the competition for spots. Chukwueze was piss poor during the AFCON and he’s been underwhelming for SE so he shouldn’t be an automatic starter. Lookman is a baller through and through and knows how to deliver a cross on a sixpence... Give me a frontline of Lookman, Osimhen, Dennis... 5 Likes 2 Shares |
