I can see Musa getting sub in around 87 minute in the afcon final. To come do the needful after the final whistle.


This I have seen.

drDoom3:
Lookman scores the winning goal for Atalanta. Now on 7 goals along with Osimhen.

ChrisKels:
Glad that Maduka Okoye chose to stay away from the AfCon squad in order to focus and get his career back on track through his club side.

Another person that I would like if he takes such decision is Ghana's Fatawu Isahaku who is in a good form for Leicester.

Arsenal chiefs are ready to splash out big to land a new striker signing.

The Daily Express says the Gunners will seek a new centre-forward signing in January.

Long-term targets Victor Osimhen, of Napoli, and Brentford's Ivan Toney remain on Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface and Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez are also potential signings.

However, the Gunners face having to sell first before adding a new centre-forward

Samueltemi337:
Aribo is in form

Damioduso1:
It he could have add Terem Moffi and Kelechi Nwakali to make it 27 men squad list. I know Olorunleke Ojo will make the squad.

Picking one or two best players from the NPFL can't be a bad decision no matter how you paint it.

You dare wave off Mba and Oboabona's exploit making history while the so called stars have been struggling against minor teams.

A good number of our legends, as a matter of fact, were unearted from the same NPFL and that is a big statement. The Nigerian league is a near execrable one, but for the records same can and should never be implied of its potentials in producing individual talents.

ChrisKels:
Good to have Patrick Schick back scoring for Leverkusen. That is more than enough cover for Boniface, and it will increase his chances of being a strong contender for the next APOTY.

With Schick helping to steady the ship and giving BO4 a chance to win the Bundesliga, and a good AfCon outing for Boniface, then...


Long way to go sha.

Charles is right Sha. They need to justify picking them in the team with meaningful. I know making it in Europe as an African is tough but others have made it work. Look at someone like okoye. He was picked while playing in the lower leagues of germany but today partly because of his super eagles appearance which gave him visibility he is now in Italy. The super eagles is an international brand and lately it's painful how our npfl stars who have featured for us since atleast afcon 2013 have failed to utilize these big opportunities. It's been 10years since we conquered the continent. Where are our npfl stars? . Where are egwuekwe, MBA, odunlami, agbim, juwon oshaniwa, uzoenyi, Reuben Gabriel, gbolahan salami and a host of npfl stars that have played for the team since then? This thing is supposed to be a mutual partnership; we invite them, they play for us, go to better clubs to improve themselves which will be of benefit to them and us but it seems it's only the local players that benefit from this arrangement. The last npfl player I can remember that made a move abroad and became a main stay in the team is etebo. Talents are emerging and the local stars need to start making moves in order to join the team.

Tessyy1701:

I partially agree with you that Npfl stars don't utilize the opportunity but let's ask ourselves how many of the chances are they been given?

The example of Maduka you gave didn't gel because none of this boys been called up has ever enjoyed half of the privilege Maduka enjoyed. It's either they introduced them in the 87 or 89mins aside the Keshi boys.

Joebie:

Amedino99:
the majority of the npfl call-ups in the last 10 years have been from the keshi era.

I don't know how Keshi got Mba and Oboboana and confident he got to introduce them into the starting line up in Afcon but at the end it paid off.It was after he introduce Mba and bench Nosa Igiebor that we have balance team,also introduction of Ogenyi Onazi instead of Fegor Ogude gave Mikel and Victor Moses ability to flourish.

I will not deceive you there is no way NPFL players will make Peseiro team cuz he doesn't monitor the league due to what we have in abroad and I will not blame him for sticking to foreign based players.

My major issue with him is goalkeeping dept.and good that he is having Nwabili who I still believe is not better than Christian Nwoke....well at the end we are having NPFL Olorunleke Ojo in the team who is not rated in the top five in NPFL.

The team is good to go if he gets his tactics right.

"Nigeria not among favorites"- Yaya Toure

The former Manchester City midfielder is convinced three-time winners Nigeria are not among the favourites to win the continental championship next month

Super Falcons and Barcelona Ladies forward Asisat Oshoala has taken a firm stance against Ivorian football legend Yaya Toure’s recent prediction regarding Nigeria’s performance in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, Soccernet.ng reports.

Nigeria will compete in Group A at the AFCON alongside hosts Ivory Coast, Guinea-Bissau, and Equatorial Guinea.

Ivory Coast (two titles) and Nigeria (three titles) are the only former champions in the group and the favourites to qualify for the knockout rounds.

However, Ivorian legend Toure backed his country and Guinea-Bissau to make it past the group stage and reach the latter phases of the competition.

Still, Oshoala is not impressed by Toure’s submission.

In a chat with Brila FM, the six-time Africa Women Player of the Year dismissed Toure’s skepticism while backing Nigeria’s talented strikers to lift the Super Eagles to glory.

“Talk is cheap. When we get to the tournament, we will separate the boys from the men,” Oshoala said.

“Why not? We have the almighty Osimhen, the best player in Africa; we have Boniface doing well at club level. I feel like we have a good team; it’s not about individual talent.

“I feel like we have a good team, and we have enough time to build up towards the tournament.”

Nigeria boast some of the best attackers in Africa, with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen rated as the most valuable player on the continent.

The 2023 Africa Footballer of the Year was the top scorer during the qualification campaign, netting ten goals in six games.
