Who is Alhassan Yusuf, the midfielder replacing Ndidi for AFCON? Everything you need to know about Alhassan Yusuf, the Kano-born midfielder, replacing the injured Wilfred Ndidi for AFCON. Alhassan Yusuf, the talented Nigerian midfielder, has been making waves in the European football scene and is now set to replace Wilfred Ndidi in the Nigerian squad for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON). Born on July 20, 2000, in Kano, Nigeria, Yusuf's journey in football is both inspiring and remarkable. Early Beginnings Yusuf's football journey began at FC Hearts in Nigeria. His talent was recognized early by the Tiki Taka Development Group, a Swedish-based academy with operations in Nigeria. This academy played a pivotal role in shaping his career, providing him with the opportunity to showcase his skills in Europe at the prestigious Gothia Cup. It was at this tournament, particularly the 2017 edition, that Yusuf's abilities shone, catching the attention of IFK Göteborg. His impressive performance in the Gothia Cup, a tournament known for featuring some of football's greatest talents like Xabi Alonso and Andrea Pirlo, led to a trial and eventually a permanent move to IFK Göteborg. Rise to Prominence Yusuf quickly made a name for himself at IFK Göteborg. His exceptional skills on the field earned him the Allsvenskan Young Player of the Year in 2019, a testament to his remarkable talent and hard work. His performances were characterised by his ability to dictate games with accurate and quick passing, as well as his defensive prowess. These skills not only showcased his versatility as a midfielder but also drew comparisons to renowned players like N’Golo Kanté. A New Chapter at Antwerp In 2021, Yusuf's career took a significant leap when he signed with Belgian club Royal Antwerp. The transfer, valued at around €1 million, was a testament to his growing reputation in European football. At Antwerp, Yusuf continued to impress, becoming a mainstay in the midfield and even capturing the Player of the Month award in one of the seasons. His market value soared, indicating his rising status in the football world. A Star on the International Stage While Yusuf has not yet been capped for the Nigerian national team, his inclusion in the provisional list for AFCON speaks volumes about his potential and the expectations placed on him. His performance in the UEFA Champions League, where he scored on his debut, further cements his status as a player of international calibre. Looking Ahead Alhassan Yusuf's journey from a young talent in Nigeria to a rising star in European football is a story of determination, skill, and passion. As he steps in to replace Ndidi for AFCON, all eyes will be on him to see if he can translate his club's success to the international stage. His story is not just about football; it's about the potential of youth and the boundless opportunities that come with talent and hard work. https://www.pulsesports.ng/football/story/who-is-alhassan-yusuf-the-midfielder-replacing-ndidi-for-afcon-2024010317342101247 11 Likes

No doubt Nigeria has buddle of talented players But my worry is that we don't have a good coach to blend them into a team How can we be going to a big tournament with uncapped players A player that has never played with other team mate will certainly not blend Alhassan Yusuf, and goalkeeper Nwabili will be meeting the team for the first time in camp and next straight to AFCON? Our midfield to me is still a suspect No creative player. Modern games are won and be lost in the midfield If you cut them off our strikers are starved and finished 49 Likes 2 Shares |

USD is already 1255 today & rising more than ijebu garri while they are trying to change price of PMS. This year will be tough for those without multiple sources of income. Except you are being fed by someone football should be the least of your concerns. 8 Likes 1 Share

Mtchew. If you like make you gather all the top eleven footballers blend them for Super Eagles. With a coach as clueless as ours at the helm of affairs, it's still amount to zilch. This country is a dumping ground for folks who have committed heinous crimes in their past lives and are repaying for bad karma. There's nothing you can tell me to convince me otherwise. |

robosky02: The simple solution is to use a 4 3 3 that uses compact hard-working midfielders who are also technically sound, if not creative, then let the full backs and forwards provide the creativity, like Liverpool. The thing about this formation though, is that Boniface or Iheanacho would be better options than Osimhen as the 9. 1 Like |

![]() Wahala for those of una wey dey expect any miraculous good performance from this current super eagles squad.... At least,the last time we didn't qualify to the world cup,our BP was very normal.....I wonder how many people go get HBP as from 14th because I don't see any good thing coming out from them so long we have a very big basket manning our goalpost Coupled with a very porous defense as well.... It is well indeed. 3 Likes |
