It's not yet clear but he is certainly leaving Chelsea this season.

RP Leipzig is in the forefront to get his service though Liverpool, Bayern Munich and others have joined the race to capture him for next season.

That is why this lad should be approached before he turn super star.

Thanks moderators for heeding to my humble plea. Once again, thank you.

Skillful Chelsea Wing-Back Victor Moses Named Nigeria Top Dribbler In Europe



Football statisticians CIES Football Observatory have published on their website the top 100 dribblers in the top five leagues in Europe.


Middlesbrough’s Adama Traore is first on the list and outranked Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Allan St-Maximin (Bastia). Neymar, Lionel Messi and Alexis Sanchez.


If Liverpool-born Ross Barkley is not included in the mix, the highest ranked Nigerian player is Chelsea’s Victor Moses, who is joint-76th best on the list.


That should not come as a surprise as the right wing-back is known for his flair and ability to take on opponents, especially in 1 vs 1 situations.


Moses has attempted 81 dribbles with a success rate of 59 percent, and scored 73.5 overall.


The dribbling index is calculated by dividing the number of dribbles attempted by the percentage of successful ones.

Spurs plotting swoop for Blackpool teen sensation Bright Osayi-Samuel

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3391047/tottenham-transfer-news-blackpool-bright-osayi-samuel/

joseph1013:

"Osayi-Samuel qualifies for England but has stated that he wants to play for Nigeria, which is the country of his birth."

This is impressive, but five goals in 38 appearances in League 2 as a winger is kinda poor. It's important to know how many assists he had though, and his overall contribution to team goals.

Sebi I have been saying this thing.... There is just no way Rohr will give a debut to a rookie/greenhorn against South Africa or Cameroun when Akpeyi is still available.... I have been saying that all our cry for young keepers won't work now but for the near future post-qualifiers... coz we are stuck with Akpeyi for now and Rohr sees him as *tested* and *somewhat trusted* despite his shaky displays oftentimes....


We just have to accept the fact that Alampasu, Nwokolor, Emma Daniel, Osigwe etc etc (plus any other goalie prospect we have) are for the near future and eventual long-term but right now, The technical crew won't toy or experiment with that Goalie position.... coz the competitive games ahead of us are crucial... very crucial....

Nigeria: Inviting New Goalkeepers to Super Eagles May Hurt Us, Says Agu
By Alex Monye



Super Eagles Goalkeeper Trainer, Alloy Agu, has said that the Coach Gernor Rohr-led Super Eagles technical crew would not inject new goalkeepers to the current team ahead of the 2019 Nation Cup qualifier showdown against South Africa in Uyo.



Speaking with The Guardian, Alloy, who expressed confidence over the goalkeepers that include Carl Ikeme, Daniel Akpeyi and Ikechukwu Ezenwa, said it would be a dangerous precedence for the technical crew to start inviting younger goaltenders to its fold, as the team prepares for the crucial AFCON game against South Africa.



He reasoned that using experienced and well exposed goalkeepers for the AFCON and during the World Cup qualifiers would assist the Nigeria team gets the needed results.



The former Super Eagles captain explained that the reason for this decision is to ensure that a reliable goalkeeper is picked for the international engagements.



He noted that testing new goalkeepers ahead of the South Africa tie would not augur well for the Super Eagles because of the short time.



"We are not going to invite new keepers into the Super Eagles squad ahead of the 2019 Nations Cup qualifier against South and the World Cup qualifiers. The reason is that we do not want to create any distraction in the team.


"We are considering bringing in young keepers to take over from the ones in camp in the nearest future. But it is going to be a gradual thing. On the recall of Vincent Enyeama to the Super Eagles, I cannot say anything on that," he stated.

TheGodJoe, Tbaba1234, Thesupernerd ..sorry to interrupt,but is there WhatsApp group for Nigeria football discussions??
I won't mind if anybody adds me to one..

TheSuperNerd:

Uhmmmm.... looks like you were banned or something... or maybe well anyway.....


And cool.... RB Leipzig will be playing UCL football next season. They are a good option.

And as for the rumors of Bayern and Liverpool.... let's see how it all turns out....

Dominic Solanke.... another "possible" addition to Nigeria's Rising new generation. It will be super competitive if he teams up with us.... Iheanacho (ofcos, I see him also in the AMF role), Osimhen, Tammy, possibly Solanke also and not to forget the possibility of Odey if he continues to progress nicely .... that will be earthshaking competition.... lol

Not to forget the other Nigerian young forwards doing their things as we may never know who just catches fire and start to paint Europe with goals and dazzling performances.... Simy Nwankwo, Sadiq Umar, Taiwo Awoniyi, Fred Friday, etc. etc

Dutch Youngster Donyell Malen Preferred Ahead Of Nigerian Teen Nwakali By Arsenal Manager Wenger



Manager of Arsenal Arsene Wenger has given highly rated 17 year old Dutch forward Donyell Malen a spot in Arsenal pre season squad, while he is yet to make up his mind on Kelechi Nwakali.


Malen has trained severally with the first team, and the Dutch teen wonder, who was already a regular for Arsenal U-23 at the age of 16 will have his first team bow in pre season.


Wenger rates the forward highly and Malen has not disappointed the manager with his performances for the U-23s. A form which has now earned him a spot in their pre season squad according to Arsenal insider Mark Taylor.


” Malen is definitely going to be a part of the first team pre season activities, as for Nwakali the scouting reports has been impressive but his consistency is not there yet.


” He (Nwakali) tends to blow hot and cold during games. Aside his form which is very encouraging considering his age, the issue of securing a work permit could see him head out on another loan”, Taylor told Owngoalnigeria.com.

TheGoodJoe:


I guess you do not understand what analog coaching is. Steve Bruce will choose a push and shove player over a creative talented player. If a Park Bus coach selects a squad, a total different variety of playing style will make the team compared to a coach who will prefer a team with skill and flair.

I should not have to explain this.

Former Nigeria U-17 Goalkeeper Gets Senior Squad Number At Deportivo La Coruna



Former Nigeria U-17 shot stopper Francis Uzoho has been handed a first team squad number by the technical crew of Spanish La-Liga side Deportivo La Coruna.


The 18 year old joined the team in January from the prestigious Aspire Academy in Qatar, a transfer exclusively reported by this football portal few months ago‎.


Although he is yet to make a first team appearance, he has severally trained with the first team, and impressed the handlers who have now decided to hand him a first team squad number in jersey number 23.


In the summer, he is expected to make his debut for the team in pre season games from where his performances could land him a permanent spot in the first team in competitive games.


For now he is the third choice goalkeeper of the La-Liga outfit, who are placed 16th on the log, and mathematically not saved yet as they face the prospect of dropping to the second division in Spain unless they pick up ‎points in their remaining five games of the season.


Uzoho was a part of the Nigerian U-17 team of 2013 that won the U-17 World Youth Championship in the UAE. He was the third choice goalkeeper of the team as head coach Manu Garba settled for Dele Alampasu as his first choice.

@bolded is a fat lie. He is more than qualified for work permit visa.

Afterall, he was the best player at the U17, meaning he qualifies as special talent.

Teacher don't teach me nonsense.

TheGoodJoe:


Shocking. Francis Uzoho was 14 years in the U17 tournament. Jeez.

Shocking. Francis Uzoho was 14 years in the U17 tournament. Jeez.

komekn:


When was the U17 tournament? Consider time lapse you cannot make an application on past glories. How many senior caps has he won, has he been playing in a top European club. Has he played Champions league what are his stats, top goal scorer in league or club, highest number of assists, etc. Bearing in mind your earlier assertion, What Special Talent

If he had come to Arsenal's academy as a young teenager there would be no issues he would now be classed as home grown.

However, he has been in Holland for the past 2/3 years, doing what I do believe he will face work permit issues even on appeal I doubt if he will be granted a permit.

Just my opinion.

p.s. Checked his Stats, he is 20 now and has played 23 games and 1 goal.

komekn:


No be you deh follow me argue say MRI is infallible.

What will be conclusive for me, is if I see his pictures in 2013, and he hasn't grown or no facial change from pikin to man.

He was just approaching or going through puberty he has to still grow, growth cannot stop at 14.

Icon4s:


Yes.

I always remember him as that small goalie that joined the team in celebration each time we won a game.

God Bless who ever thought of introducing the MRI to the U17s.

He should be a candidate for our next U23.
