Man City aim to maintain good position in EPL - Iheanacho

[img]https://3.bp..com/-snTZQ9zONqI/WNtllmo_eMI/AAAAAAAADec/BZttFX4whwgo3EzoIPb7NWDT12FndgNrgCLcB/s1600/Kelechi-Iheanacho.jpg[/img]

Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho has fired a warning to their English Premier League (EPL) rivals Arsenal ahead of their encounter on Sunday.


The 20-year-old forward scored for Nigeria’s Super Eagles as they drew 1-1 with Senegal in an international friendly in London, England on Thursday night.


Iheanacho has now turned his focus back to the EPL and he will be facing his Super Eagles teammate Alex Iwobi’s club Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.


“We are going to go to the Emirates and fight. We need a win there. It’s a good team, so we need to fight hard to get threepoints, “ Iheanacho told City’s official website.


“We are in a good situation. We played well against Liverpool and showed good character.


“We defend well, we attack well, but unfortunately we couldn’t win,” the Nigeria youth and senior international continued.


“We are in a good position (third place) in the Premier League, we keep fighting and focus on the next games.”


Iheanacho has made 16 league appearances for City, who are coached by Pep Guardiola, this season – netting four goals in the process.

Leon Balogun Qualities Thrills British Journalist – He Has Almost Everything You Need In A Defender



The form of Super Eagles defender Leon Balogun during the Eagles’s training session and test game against Senegal has won him praises from a British journalist.


Balogun was on for the entire duration of Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Senegal in a friendly clash in London, and the Mainz 05 man put in a commendable shift despite his lack of game time at his Bundesliga team.


” He looks quite good on the ball, although rusty I must say. He obviously made up for it with his impeccable reading of the game. The way he moves, reads and intercept passes with ease is such a delight”, British journalist Mark Thompson told Owngoalnigeria.com.


” The way he wins aerial duels is something else and even his tackle success rate is also very impressive due to the fact that he is not the quickest. Age is not on his side but this man has all what it takes to play in the Premier League.


” Above all I love the way he organises his troops at the back. I watched the game against Senegal, he was on top of his voice ordering his troops round. He is a leader, even in training I noticed the same”.

*Prince Michael

Ogu : I wish Alli, Alaba Played
For Super Eagles

Super Eagles midfielder John Ogu is
confident the team will no longer lose
players of Nigerian heritage to other national
teams, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
Some high-profile players with Nigerian blood
like Tottenham's Dele Alli (England) and
Bayern Munich's David Alaba (Austria) opted
for other national teams, a situation Ogu
hopes will change soon.
"Every weekend, I sit at home and watch
Alaba or Dele Alli doing it big for other
countries and not ours," Ogu tweeted on
Wednesday. "We have the power to not
allow such.
"I'm happy because we have the power not
to repeat losing our players to other nations.
All the boys who were in camp always want
to learn."
There are a number of foreign-born Nigerian
players now in the Super Eagles, including
Leon Balogun, William Troost-Ekong and new
boys Tyrone Ebuehi and Noah Bazee.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva star Ogu, who played for
the Eagles in Thursday's friendly against
Senegal in London, is pleased to be in the
squad with these players and the rest of the
squad.
"I had a great time in the super Eagles camp
in London to be honest," Ogu, who recorded
and posted a number of team-bonding
videos online, added. "Ten days out with the
coaching crew and staff was a great

How I got my breakthrough in
football – Wilfred Ndidi
By Ifreke Inyang on March 29, 2017
@dailypostngr


Top Stories:
Leicester City and Nigeria midfielder, Wilfred
Ndidi, has recounted the moment that paved the
way for a career in football for him.
The Super Eagles star completed a £17 million
move from Genk to Leicester City in January
and has gone on to put up some fine displays in
England.
However, Ndidi says he could have easily been
doing something else, after his father insisted he
faced his books.
He also revealed that he was the only one of
500 boys to be invited for a trial at Genk, which
sent scouts to watch a Nigerian football
tournament.
“I didn’t score [to impress Genk], I was actually
playing in central defence,” Ndidi told Goal.
“I was told not to play long balls, so I just made
a one-two and another one-two and then I gave
a pass, made an assist.
“It was important because we were an
academy, we played a team from the Nigerian
Premier League [and we were only an
academy], 3SC Shooting Stars, who were
winning 1-0. I gave that pass and it made it 1-1.
“I was the only one selected out of 40 teams,
500 players. I had to go and do trials in Genk
after that. Then I did the trials in Genk, After a
year, they gave me a contract.
“It was difficult [coming to Europe] but I stayed
with a family who tried to make me feel like I
was at home. It was the time of the trial. So
when I came home every day I felt like part of
the family, it felt like home and made it easier.”dailypost.ng/2017/03/29/got-breakthrough-football-wilfred-ndidi/

TAMMY ABRAHAM: IS THE
RECORD-BREAKING TEENAGER
THE FUTURE OF CHELSEA?

The striker impressed again on loan at Bristol
City and looks certain to take his goals to
Stamford Bridge in the years to come
Antonio Conte doesn’t deal in hyperbole.
Though the Italian has been a picture of fire
and emotion on the sideline since his arrival
at Chelsea last summer, in the press room
he’s shown a completely different side.
Uncombative, cool and measured, the Blues
boss, with his improving English, has always
given the sense he carefully considers every
word before letting them leave his mouth.
So it’s why it mattered when, in October, he
delivered his assessment of young Blues
striker Tammy Abraham: “He is the future for
Chelsea, for sure."
That was in October, and Abraham had just
opened the season with 11 goals in his first
17 appearances on loan at Bristol City in the
Championship. Five months on, that goal tally
now stands at 22 after the 19-year-old’s
impressive strike played a leading role in the
Robins’ 4-0 thrashing of high-flying
Huddersfield Town on Friday.
Cutting across his marker just before half-
time, Abraham met David Cotterill’s
penetrating ball and tucked home a brilliant,
first-time finish. It was another example of
the remarkable prowess in the penalty
area of a youngster who will see his FIFA 17
FUT rating on the rise.
Selected as one of Goal’s 50 Rising Stars of
FUT, Abraham is the hottest talent to have
emerged from the latest youth crop produced
by the Chelsea academy.
Since joining the west London outfit in 2004,
the striker has progressed through the ranks
and enjoyed two sparkling seasons in front of
goal in 2014-15 and 2015-16. With 74 goals in
98 games, Abraham powered Chelsea to
consecutive FA Youth Cups and UEFA Youth
League titles.
But youth football is not a perfect platform
and both Chelsea and Abraham knew it.
After including him in the senior squad’s pre-
season camps, the club sent the striker to
Bristol City in August to get him both regular
minutes and experience in dealing with the
rigours of senior football.
It's been a breakout season for the towering,
athletic striker who reminds many of Didier
Drogba. Abraham has become the first
teenager ever to score 16 or more goals in a
Championship season. His 19 league strikes
have him third in the division’s scoring
charts, and he’s added a further three in cup
play.
“There’s a massive difference [between
youth football and senior football] because
you’re coming up against players who are
bigger, stronger and faster than you, so you
have to try to find the weakness of your
opponent and exploit that. It’s more about
your mentality and looking after yourself,” he
told Chelsea’s official website earlier this
month.
The evidence available suggests he’s doing
exactly that. Conte has spoken of Abraham’s
“great potential in the technical and physical
aspects”, but even he must be surprised by
the speed of the youngster’s emergence.
When you’re 19, your goal tally in the league
in your first senior season is not meant to
match your age. But then, Abraham is not
your typical 19-year-old. As Conte says, he’s
the future of Chelsea.

David Alaba was a big miss for the Super Eagles. But as per Dele, watch out as England drops him like a hot potato once he shows a small loss of form; then he'd realize what most of us (his elders) already knew. Do not say that I didn't warn him.

Fulham plot move for Nigerian international who has travelled to London


By Emre Sarigul



Fulham are plotting a move for Fenerbahce striker Emmanuel Emenike according to Turkish sports newspaper Fotomac.


Per the source, Emenike is currently in London in pursuit of joining a club based in England.


Emenike is not stranger to playing Premier League football having enjoyed a loan stint at West Ham.
The Nigerian international striker has not played in the Championship before.


The striker has experience playing Premier League, Russian top-tier and Turkish Super League football.
Emenike has fallen out of favour with Fenerbahce manager Dick Advocaat and has been transfer listed.


Fenerbahce are keen on selling the powerful forward and freeing up the wage bill.
The striker is set to earn an additional €2.5 million if he sees out the rest of his contract.


Emenike has struggled for playing time this season scoring seven times and providing four assists in in 21 appearances in all competitions this season.


The 29-year-old will have just a year remaining on his contract this summer and Fenerbahce have not offered a new deal.

Official : Kingsley Ehizibue Extends Contract With PEC Zwolle



Dutch Eredivisie side PEC Zwolle have announced that they have extended the contract of Netherlands U21 international of Nigerian heritage Kingsley Ehizibue.


If the right wing-back had not renewed his vows, he would have walked away from the MAC³PARK Stadion as a free agent in the summer, but the club exercised their contract option for the 2017-2018 campaign.


Ehizibue signed his first professional contract with PEC Zwolle in 2015 after starring for their youth team.

Born in Germany, he is on the radar of the Nigeria Football Federation as regards to committing his international future to the Super Eagles, and shares the same agent as Tyronne Ebuehi.


The 21-year-old Ehizibue has played 59 times for the first team of PEC Zwolle, scoring 7 goals since his debut.

Lambert Unsure Of Ikeme Availability For Wolves Vs Cardiff



Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Paul Lambert says the club is still keeping an eye on Nigerian goalkeeper Carl Ikeme's fitness ahead of their Championship game at home against Cardiff City on Saturday.


Ikeme, 30, got injured prior to Nigeria's international friendly game against Senegal which ended 1-1 on Thursday.


Commenting on Ikeme's injury, Lambert admits it is currently too early to tell whether he will be ready for this weekend's clash.


“Carl’s got a knock at the minute so we are having to monitor him,"Lambert told expressanstar.com


"We will see how he is. It’s a bit early to say (for the weekend). We will see how it develops and if he is going to be OK.


“In terms of the others who are back, they are all OK. There are still one or two away. Hopefully, they come through their games OK," Lambert states.


Ikeme has appeared in 31 of Wolverhampton's 37 Championship games this season.


Wolves are aiming to continue their fine recent run and record a fourth consecutive win to pull further clear of the Championship relegation zone.


They are currently 16th on 45 points in the 24-team Championship league table.

I wonder why our players don't wear green and white arm bands when they are with their clubs. I look at stars from other countries and they are always representing their countries with their arm bands. No big deal but i'm sure it would boost them knowing they are also representing their country and it will also help the Nigerian fan base get behind them.

Official : FC Midtjylland Loan Out Promising Winger Babajide To Norwegian Club



Norwegian First Division FK Jerv have completed the signing of talented Nigerian winger Babajide David on loan from Danish Superliga outfit FC Midtjylland.


The agreement between the two Scandinavian teams will keep David in Norway until June 30, 2017.


FC Midtjylland have a good relationship with FK Jerv and did transfer business with the club in March last year when defensive midfielder Michael Ogungbaro was snapped up by the team from Grimstad.


Should he make his debut on Sunday against Florø, he will step out onto the pitch with the number 13 jersey.


The 21-year-old Babajide David spent a portion of last season on loan at Thisted FC.

]Cameroon's Africa Cup of Nations-winning coach
Hugo Broos has threatened to quit over
management and funding problems in the
national team set-up.

Broos, who led the team to the trophy in Gabon
in February , said he is "seriously considering
whether I should continue or not".
He also said his players and staff have to work
in "poor conditions" while Cameron Football
Federation officials "sit in their chairs doing
nothing".
"I cannot accept this," he added.
Broos made his comments in a news conference
after a 2-1 defeat by Guinea in a friendly in
Belgium on Tuesday, revealing the extent of the
problems he has faced since his appointment in
February 2016.
Today I am saying that this is the
last straw
Hugo Broos
"One year ago when I started working with
Cameroon I met many problems. Despite all this
we worked hard and reached a new level. But
the working conditions are not professional," he
said.
"For example, when we had to go to South Africa
last year we were forced to wait for more than
two hours on a plane because some officials
wanted to put more people than necessary on
the plane. It is not fair to pay for other people's
mistakes.
"Also when we went to Nantes the doctor had to
pay for some drugs and bandages with his own
money for the first two days. He has yet to be
refunded.
"We travelled without training kit and equipment
because it was too expensive to put it on the
plane.
"At mid-day before the match against Guinea,
the players didn't have lunch because the hotel
had not been paid. The bad performance against
Guinea was a consequence of the poor
preparations we had.
"No food? Hotel not been paid? This is the
national team. We want better conditions.
"Today I am saying that this is the last straw."
Cameroon's Football Federation (Fecafoot) said
on its Twitter page that it would launch an
inquiry into what led to the comments from
Broos.http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39433851

Abeg una bare with me, so dem no even get bonz for France? Bassong plays in China abi dem never pay am yet, how person go play ball without eating? FIFA is wrong, when things like this happen the country should be within right to fire everybody involved.

IWOBI: I CAN CONVINCE ARSENAL
TO SIGN IHEANACHO

Taiye Taiwo
The Nigeria international wants his
compatriot in the Emirates Stadium just
because of an off-field behaviour
Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi believes he can
influence a transfer move for Manchester
City 's Kelechi Iheanacho to the North London
club.
Iwobi feels the Gunners can cash in on the
'funniest guy he knows' but doesn't see
it happening in the coming months.
The 20-year-old hailed his companion with
the City forward and disclosed why he would
love to see him in Arsenal's traditional red
and white jersey.
‘I tell you, you should see us [him and
Iheanacho] on Snapchat! Always bantering,"
Iwobi told Daily Mail.
"We’re roommates right now and he’s just
the funniest guy I know.
'We do get on well off the pitch as well as on
the pitch.
"Maybe I can try to convince Arsenal to sign
him – but I don’t think that’s going to
happen."
Iwobi amazed everyone when a video of him
speaking fluent Pidgin English was posted on
Twitter by teammate Ogenyi Onazi.
And reacting to how he has learned to speak
the prevalent language in the Super Eagles'
camp, he said: "Everyone could speak
English, I’d get along fine, but they’d all say,
“come on, you need to learn your language”.
So yeah, I’ve learned a bit, which helps.
''When I first went I felt like I’m an alien! I
know they used to take the mick out of me,
and I didn’t know what they were saying. But
now I can understand!"m.goal.com/s/en-ng/news/4055/main/2017/03/26/34020972/iwobi-i-can-convince-arsenal-to-sign-iheanacho

QPR Teen Wonder Ebere Eze Happy To Train With Super Eagles In London, Reveals His State Of Origin

Queens Park Rangers (QPR) highly rated Anglo- Nigerian teen Ebere Eze has spoken out on the joy of training with the Super Eagles of Nigeria in London. Eze was among the group of players called up by coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr following the cancellation of the proposed friendly tie against Burkina Faso. He played in the practice game organised by the coach after the cancellation of the Burkina Faso friendly, and after the game spoke with our correspondent on the touchline. ” I feel so happy, words can’t clearly express my feelings. My parents are from Imo State, Mbaise precisely and they are very happy for me”, Eze told Michael James in London. ” I hope to play more for the team in subsequent games, but I also know I have to play for my team to be considered worthy enough for a spot in the team. For me the hardwork starts now”.
