Onyekuru is heavily linked with a move away from Eupen after his 18 goal haul in his first season in the Belgium top flight, and three German teams namely Hoffeinheim, RB Leipzig and Borrusia Monchengladbach are reportedly in the hunt for the 19 year old. Responding to the rumors of a possible move to Germany, the winger cum striker who is also linked with a move to several English Premier League teams sounded coy but did reveal that his girlfriend lives in the country. ” I honestly can tell if there is interest in me from Germany , but I welcome the idea because my girlfriend lives there, although she does come around to see me in Belgium”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.

Revealed – Arsenal Were Close To Agreeing Two Year Deal With Sarenren Bazee Before Contract Extension With Hannover 96 ![]() Super Eagles newboy Noah Joel Sarenren Bazee was close to agreeing a two year deal with Arsenal before his contract extension with promotion chasing Bundesliga 2 side Hannover 96. Hannover 96 announced his contract extension on Saturday, finally bringing to an end uncertainty regarding the highly rated German-Nigerian forward who would have been out of contract in 2018. The delay according to informed sources was due to the flurry of offers the 20 year old received from teams in Germany and outside Germany , notably among them English Premier League giants Arsenal. Bazee courted interest from Bayern Munich, Schalke 04, Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayern Leverkusen , but while the German teams were trying to convince him to make up his mind. Arsenal reportedly offered him a two year deal according to German news outlet SID. His extension with Hannover 96 however put an end to any hope of Arsenal and the other teams interested in him have in signing him , as he has clearly stated his intention to establish himself at the team before considering any move away.

Russian Clubs Threaten Russian- Nigerian Idowu : Play For Nigeria And Lose Value ![]() Super Eagles of Nigeria target Brian Idowu has been warned that playing for Nigeria could cost him his starting spot at Russian Premier League side Amkar Perm after Nigeria’s approach to the 24 year old. Idowu is eligible for Russia and Nigeria, but while Russia the host of the next World Cup are yet to sound out the versatile defender, coach of the senior Nigeria national team Gernot Rohr met with the defender to convince him to switch allegiance to Nigeria. Rohr went ahead to hand him a spot in Nigeria’s World Cup 2018 qualifiers against Algeria, but Russia immigration laws stopped him from honoring the invitation from Nigeria for the game which Nigeria won 3-1 to move four points clear of their closest challengers Cameroon in the race to be at Russia 2018. However highly respected Russian journalist Toke Moller Tolde who writes for Russian Football News says even though Idowu might yet play for the Super Eagles of Nigeria. The move might prove costly for him at his clubside Amkar Perm. “If Idowu is capped for Nigeria, he’ll become a legionnaire in the eyes of the RFPL, meaning he’ll lose value, both on and off the pitch. On the pitch, Amkar are forced to have six Russian players eligible for the national team at all times, which means that this kind of player with quality are a rare and valuable co”‘ he wrote.

No More Match Bonus – Super Eagles Players Agree To Play Remaining World Cup Qualifiers For Free ![]() The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has reached agreement with players of the Super Eagles of Nigeria to play their remaining World Cup 2018 qualifiers for free to bring to an end the constant row over match bonuses. Nigeria currently lead their World Cup 2018 Qualifiers group four points more than second placed Cameroon , who they will face in back to back games in September when the qualifiers resume. ” We (NFF) have a very good agreement with the players to ensure that row over bonus won’t break out and derail our chances of qualifying for the World Cup in Russia. To be candid we are broke, better to let the players know early ‘, a source from the NFF told Owngoalnigeria.com. ” The players understand our plight, and have agreed to play for free in the remaining games. The aim is to be at the World Cup in Russia, it will be a win win situation for the players if we make it to the World Cup especially for those who will be out of contract during the World Cup period”.

Icon4s: The topic was strictly inviting Iheanacho to Super Eagles and you said he was not there yet. I clearly pointed out that Iheanacho could score the goals Ighalo was scoring. I said Iheanacho was better than Bony and Ighalo. That was my stance. Any other thing there is adding Maggi. I repeatedly said Iheanacho has to keep working hard. We highlighted articles of Iheanacho saying he needs to work very hard. If he was as hyped as you made it, would we talk of Iheanacho working hard? It was after Keshi's reign. It was when Oliseh invited Ighalo and left Iheanacho out. 1 Like 1 Share |

Chelsea Loanee Abraham Finishes Off 31-Pass Move To Score For Bristol City ![]() Bristol City were denied a win after a goal from Sam Gallagher in the 71st minute handed Blackburn Rovers a 1-1 draw at Ewood Park on Monday afternoon. England U21 international of Nigerian descent Tammy Abraham had given the visitors the lead in the 14th minute, latching on to a pass before flicking the ball beyond the goalkeeper. It was one of the best team goals in the Championship this season, as there were 31 passes in the lead up to the goal scored by the Chelsea loanee. 13 of Abraham's 22 goals in the English second-tier were scored in away grounds, the most by a player this season. Tammy Abraham and Blackburn Rovers' Nigeria international Hope Akpan put in a full shift for their respective teams.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Leicester Nigerian Stars To Rest For Two Days Before Joining Nigeria Training Camp ![]() Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the Super Eagles will begin their training camp in France on Tuesday, May 23rd ahead of June's African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa. The group of players that will be called up to the get-together in Corsica will form the core of the group that will tackle Bafana Bafana in Uyo. With the Premier League set to end on May 21, it means Kelechi Iheanacho (Man City), Victor Moses (Chelsea), Wilfred Ndidi, Ahmed Musa (Leicester City) and Alex Iwobi (Arsenal) will have only two days of rest before reporting to camp.

While in France, the national team are expected to lock horns with Corsica and Burkina Faso in friendly matches. The list of invited players will be announced by the Nigeria Football Federation in the second week of May.

jihday: Nistelrooy and Van Persie plays two different styles. Van Persie is mobile and scored lovely goals in and outside the 18 yard box constantly. Benteke did not suit Klopp. He is also years ahead of his formative years. So leaving is the best option. If it was a younger player, working hard on improving his other attributes would be the best advice. Klopp plays a breathtaking pressing style and demands creative plays from his forward. Training under such conditions for a while will make the youngster better in his later years. |

U might be the one who wants to argue about Stephen Odey but I was talking about Rivers United and their chances. U never spoke much about Etebo either, u always spoke about Sokari and Ajayi. Etebo is the same age as Iheanacho so that would have defeated the purpose of u calling for older players on the u20 team. Or are u claiming that I watched the u23's and still didn't rate Etebo? |

Hi folks, I read all comments of Sir Goodjoe(@ least the last 200 pages of this thread) and I cant help but notice his affection/affinity/committment/bias when it comes to Pep Guardiola. First I believe in opportunities. Some people get the opportunity and they click and never look back. Others need to be believed in. And that's motivation enough for some people. We are talking about Iheanacho here who in his first season was scoring quite often. 13 goals in all competitions is not child's play (ask someone like Emmanuel Emenike). That said, I think TheGoodJoe is tacitly ignoring the fact that pep wants Iheanacho to fit a particular mould. Sterling was not a winger at least to the best of my knowledge, yet he plays his rubbish and you have never for one day spoken about his wayward plays upfront. I ask myself who is drilling sterling? Drilled in the art of selfish play. What has Guardiola said about that? Cos I believe that the goal of any game is scoring goals and winning it. The same Guardiola that didnt even allow Joe Hart play a single game under him before shipping him off? Come on! This is plain bias. I am glad he realized how stupid he looked when his anointed brave one called bravo started letting in weird goals. So in the final analyses, all these drills talk and development talk are all ruse and excuse to glorify Pep. Let Iheanacho wise up and get going. Training is what you do week in, week out. I heanacho is not training in a movie to become the next Karate kid (wax on, wax off) for one stupid tournament. This is football we talking about. Lets dont wait till the water runs dry....... 5 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: Bros, long before the discussion shifted to the Super Eagles we were discussing about Iheanacho Vs Aguero Vs Bony Vs Novas . U guys even said he was in a class of his own-different from that of Messi and Ronaldo. Keshi was still coach then. Oliseh initially omitted him from his team. Understandably needed him to get some more professional game time more over Ighalo Was the hottest striker in England for that calender year. You wanted him to drop Ighalo for a young Iheanacho who had just been introduced to professional football? Good enough Iheanacho learnt quickly and got his career on the way. I saw nothing wrong in Oliseh's decision. Just like Victor Osimhen Now. Do u consider him ready for the CF position in the Super Eagles? 1 Like |

Icon4s: My discussion is strictly the Not there Yet statement. It was during Oliseh's reign when Ighalo was banging in goals. My point was If Iheanacho was given a chance, he could do what Ighalo was doing and even better. I said, if Ighalo is the THERE, Iheanacho has reached it and Oliseh should call him. Finito. |

BascoVanVeli: I only fronted Sokari in the U20 team because of what he brought to the midfield in addition to his AM role. Iheanacho as an AM against Brazil U20 drifted more into striking positions thereby creating gaps in the Midfield. I never spoke much about Etebo? TheGoodJoe knows better about that. |

kennysville: Nice write up but with some misconceptions. Sterling is performing better because Guardiola gave him the license to run at players. To have a more direct style to his play. That is the way to get the best from Sterling. He was the man of the match in the last game he started. I do not think that I too bad. Joe Hart refused to sit on the bench and learn. His ego got the best of him because Caballero showed the footwork Guardiola wants can be mastered. As for Bravo, the problem was how poor our defenders was coping with Guardiola's defensive build up plays. As the defenders get better holding the ball, Bravo looks more a nice fit. |

U were the one bashing Manu's boys and now 4 of them are with the super eagles, in fact Iheanacho is a main piece to the puzzle and u said he wasn't there yet. The NPFL still has some of those same boys like Alhassan Ibrahim and Ifeanyi Ifeanyi who just led Akwa United to an away win.

BABY MOURINHO who thinks he invented Football. 'What kind of nutcase are you?' Schmidt yelled. 'Do you think you invented football? Shut your mouth.' That was former manager of Bayer Leverkusen yelling at Julian Nagelsmann, the coach known as the one in hunt for the signature of the promising Nigerian striker Iheanacho. This is just a snap view of what makes this young coach, youngest in the history of the Bundesliga when he became head coach of Hoffenheim at 28 years old, a good destination for Nacho. Nagelsmann is a coach who worked under the promising Tuchel who is respected for his possessive style of play and eyes for promising young talents. His team plays at tremendous pace. After Nagelsmann suffered knee injuries that put an end to his playing career, Tuchel who was coach of Ausburg gave Nagelsmann a job as club scout and part of his technical analysis crew. Nagelsmann was just 20. He later became a youth coach at Hoffenheim and had a successful spell, including lifting the title. That was where he was dubbed the Baby Mourinho. He rejected a job at Bayern Munich to work with their youth team and got an almost impossible task to save Hoffenheim from relegation. Being the youngest coach in the history of Bundesliga, this looked impossible. Nagelsmann did not only save Hoffenheim, they now sit third on the Bundesliga table. This is remarkable considering he is 29 now. A coach to watch out for. He plays a high intensity pressing style like Klopp when his team loses the ball. He also likes his team to keep possession like Guardiola and Tuchel. With his history as a scout and working Tuchel who is good at Managing young talents, he seems a man who can spot quality young talents. With his ability to transform a relegation threatened club into a team close to qualifying for the champions league in few months, it shows Nagelsmann has a lot to offer the game of football. He may not have invented football but he is inventing something special. If Nacho wants to make a move from City, I see Hoffenheim as a right direction. I am suspecting Rohr who has deep knowledge in German Youth football. cc: Icon4s, Kog45, TheSuperNerd, safarigirl, Joseph1013, lakesidepapa, goldfish80, Xzbit91, terzurum5, Bascovanvelli, lexyman, Humility017, ChrisKels, bigblangston, forgiveness, Chrismario, komekn. 4 Likes 1 Share

Another good point to note of Julian Nagelsmann is that he believes a lot in relating with his players socially and Motivating them. I guess that is where the Baby Mourinho tag comes from. 1 Like 1 Share |
