Hot In Demand Celtic Target Onyekuru Coy On Borussia Monchengladbach Links As Liverpool Withdraws Interest ![]() The future of Eupen Nigerian forward Henry Onyekuru will be decided by his club and advisers according to the player in an exclusive interview with Owngoalnigeria.com. A failed target for Scottish side Celtic during the January transfer window, he is also high on the priority list of Russian side CSKA Moscow as exclusively reported by this portal last year. However, we gathered English Premier League giants Liverpool have pulled out from the race to sign the forward cum winger as manager Jurgen Klopp wants to strengthen other areas of his team. Onyekuru was asked by our correspondent if there’s substance to talks about a move to Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach, and the 19 year old who has 14 goals in the league this summer failed to deny or confirm the rumours. ”Summer is around the corner, so no need to confirm or deny any story. For now my goal is to help Eupen achieve their goals this season via the play-offs. I’ve heard about interest from Germany but it’s not for me to speak or decide”, Onyekuru said. ”My club and my advisers will decide on the best offer for me, if am to leave Eupen in the summer. For now I am fully settled here but you never know. Things can change quickly especially in football”. * Daniel Martins Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/04/11/hot-in-demand-celtic-target-onyekuru-coy-on-borussia-monchengladbach-links-as-liverpool-withdraws-interest/ 2 Likes |

Chelsea Aina, Arsenal Akpom Poised To Make Nigeria Debut Against Burkina Faso On May 26 ![]() Chelsea defender Ola Aina and Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom are in line to make their international debut for the Super Eagles when they tackle Burkina Faso in a friendly on May 26, according to Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr. The former England youth internationals trained with the Nigerian national team in March, took part in a practice game between Team A and Team B at the Hive Stadium, and they impressed the coaches during their audition. “We have seen the likes of Ola Aina, Tyronne Ebuehi Bazee, and Chuba Akpom in London, ” Rohr said on SuperSport Monday night show. They all trained with us and we hope to have them in camp in France ahead of the Nations Cup qualifier against South Africa.” The international friendly between Nigeria and Burkina Faso would have taken place on March 27, but the Stallions pulled out of the game because they had challenges obtaining UK visas for players and officials. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=22682 1 Like |

WATFORD STRIKER OKAKA PRAISES NIGERIAN FORWARD SUCCESS ![]() Watford's Isaac Success Nigeria international and Watford FC striker Isaac Success has been urged to continue working hard by his club teammate Stefano Okaka. Success, who joined Watford from Spanish side Granada at the beginning of the current season, has found it difficult to establish himself at the English Premier League (EPL) side thus far. His teammate Okaka believes that the 21-year-old centre forward is a talented young player, who has the ability to take his game to another level if he continues working hard. "Success is a talented player," Okaka told Hertfordshire Mercury. "He's young, and not playing every day - coming into this type of game is not easy. "He needs to work, but he can carry on at this level and can go up to a very high level too." Success has made 17 appearances in the league for the Hornets this seasons - netting once against AFC Bournemouth last December. Okaka, a 27-year-old former AS Roma and Sampdoria centre forward, born in Castiglione del Lago, Umbria, Italy to Nigerian parents. His parents later obtained Italian citizenship and Okaka is now an Italy international - having made his debut against Albania in 2014.

Enyimba FC defend Ghana goalie Fatau Dauda over reports of punching a ball boy ![]() Enyimba's Fatah Dauda Nigeria Professional Football League side Enyimba FC have rubbished reports that their shot stopper Fatau Dauda punched a ball boy during the league game with Katsina United insisting they are lies perpetrated to tarnish the image of the player. The Nigerian giants added that the reports were just sensationalized to appear differently from what actually happened and that accusing Fatau Dauda of igniting the violence of their fans by punching the ball boy is false and a misrepresentation of facts. Katsina United reported after the game that the Ghana goalie punched the ball boy who collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. But the former CAF Champions League winners in a statement have rubbished the reports claiming Katsina United are just being mischievous and cynical with the whole drama. “Having reviewed the match tape of the incident involving Enyimba goalkeeper Fatau Dauda and a ball boy in the 84th minute of the Match Day 18 of the Nigeria Professional Football League fixture against Katsina United we conclude that Dauda simply sought, in the aftermath of Katsina United’s second goal, to retrieve the ball from the ball boy in order to facilitate a quick restart,” a statement on Enyimba FC’s website read. “Dauda only knocked the ball out of the grasp of the ball boy, who had clasped the ball to his midriff to prevent access to it. “Dauda did not punch the ball boy, as alleged by the home side, and contrary to widespread reports. “He did not assault or beat up the ball boy in question, let alone to the “point of coma” as some sensationalist reports have purported,” they explained. “This misrepresentation of facts; that the action of goalkeeper Dauda is somehow responsible for the brutality meted out to our players and officials is not only disgraceful, but unacceptable. “Such violence has no place in our league and we maintain our call for strong sanctions against Katsina United,” the statement concluded. Katsina United won the game by a 2-1 score line and vented their spleen on the visiting side with some reports revealing the two sides had a previous grudge and Fatau couldn’t have been the cause of the violence.

Coach Rohr mentioned Nura Abdullahi in his chat with Monday night football on super sports yesterday according to news reports.... He has Tyrone Ebuehi, Ola Aina and also a Moses Odubajo (still out injured) all in the bag.... and as fine options in the full back roles but he still has eyes on Nura. That says a lot. He is looking for the best among them as time goes on so that he will know those who will play back-up and those who will be the main-stays. I believe he has eyes on Jordan Torunarigha and Felix Uduokhai also because I was really stunned he could go as far as Italy to mention Nura at Roma. I thought he's been forgotten. Rohr got Noah Bazee.... so I believe Jordan and Felix are next from Germany. He is just kinda keeping it all low-key... ![]() |

Stanley Amuzie Puts In Fine Performance For Sampdoria, Spezia Tahir Maigini Earns Positive Review In Primavera Game ![]() Super Eagles fringe left back Stanley Amuzie did his chance of making his first team bow for Sampdoria with a strong showing for their Primavera side in a League game against Spezia. Signed in the summer after starring for Nigeria at the Olympics in Rio, where Nigeria won bronze, the nearly six feet tall left back has failed to progress at the Serie A side as expected. Amuzie is yet to play for the first team, although he has made the bench for some of their games. He has however grown into one of the main stay of the Primavera side in the Campionato Primavera Girone A. Last weekend he earned a rating of 7 out of 10 in their 1-1 draw against Spezia, after a commanding performance at left back, where he was a link for his side in turning defence into attack. Very noticeable with his headband on, he twice delivered pin point balls across the goal of the opponents but none of his teammate was close to turning the ball in. However, Spezia’s Nigerian midfielder turn central defender Tahir Maigini was rated the best defender on the pitch, with the former Rijeka trainee earning a rating of 7.5. *Ade Emmanuel Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/04/11/stanley-amuzie-puts-in-fine-performance-for-sampdoria-spezia-tahir-maigini-earns-positive-review-in-primavera-game/ 1 Like |

Eagles Latest “Oyibo” Ebuehi Rated Best Defender In Dutch League Game ![]() Super Eagles right back Tyronne Ebuehi was rated the best defender by whoscored.com as his team ADO Den Haag edged a seven goal thriller 4-3 against FC Groningen in the Dutch Eredivisie. The highly rated 20 year old is expected to make his debut for Nigeria next month, in a friendly game against a yet to be announced team pledged his allegiance to Nigeria ahead of the Netherlands where he was born and brought up. Ebuehi got a rating of 7.5 over 10, the highest among all the defenders on the pitch for both sides, a further confirmation of his improvements the last 12 months. Overall he was rated as the fourth best player on the pitch, in the game which he won three tackles, completed one dribble and also made vital interceptions when providing cover for the full backs. So far he has made 25 league appearances for ADO Den Haag, three games short of double the amount of game he played last season, and he has a goal to his name as well unlike last season where he had none. * Daniel Martins Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/04/11/eagles-latest-oyibo-ebuehi-rated-best-defender-in-dutch-league-game/ 1 Like |

I totally understand what you're saying regarding Oxlade. He's not a flashy player but be works for the team. He reminds me of a former Super Eagles player - Garba Lawal. However, the point I was trying to make is that if you're looking at potentials, there's much more upside to Iwobi's game compared with Ox. And in spite of the fact the entire Arsenal squad has underachieved this season, the two Alexs' - Iwobi and Sanchez - have played comparatively very well. So why would Wenger decide to suddenly demote Iwobi just because Denny Welbeck is back from injury? This is a man (Wenger) grasping for straws. The team isn't playing well and his first instinct is to pick on the African and make an example out of him! And by the way, he used to pull the same crap with Kanu Nwankwo as well. In those days, Kanu was one of the best players at Arsenal but he always finds himself on the bench while less talented players like Sylvain Wiltord (and even Reyes) would often start. The case of Wiltord starting over Kanu was so unexplainable that we used to call it "The French Connection". But that was during the time of the invincible and Wenger was like a demi god and everybody was too scared say anything negative about him. Anyway, the point I am trying to make is that the African guy always gets criticized whenever things go sour. And I have been there, so I know what I am talking about. I mean, I am speaking from experience here. Back in college, I would always get blamed whenever we lose. I might score two goals but if we lose the coach would ask me why I didn't score three! Sounds bizarre but it's true....because I lived it! O pari komekn: 1 Like |

I feel like that should be part of his job, not just to go watch and tell us they are not better than Man city players or they are old men.

We are not asking for the whole league but when a player has more goals than any Nigerian in the world at the least more good words should be said.

BascoVanVeli: If Nigerian clubs do well on the continent, the players will make names for themselves. The Enyimba team that won the champions league back to back became popular around the continent. The national team is for the best Nigerian players, not to boost anyone's profile. Salisu stated there are currently no league players ready for the eagles. If anyone should know, It is Salisu. He has worked closely with many of these players. Rohr also watched Odey live and did not sound too convinced. He has asked the local players to prove themselves in CHAN.
