TheSuperNerd:I would rather he goes to Belgium instead of Denmark. The Belgian League has proven over and over to be a fertile ground for grooming top Nigeria talents. Adi never found it easy at Copenhaghen. I doubt if they believe in grooming young talents the way the Belgian Clubs do. |

tbaba1234:He was dropped because of two reasons: 1. That he was nursing an injury. 2. That the Technical crew reasoned that the should go with those who had been with team from the beginning. Have you forgetten how he was outscoring the other guys during training matches? Left for me I would have gone with Theophilus Solomon instead of Chidera Eze. |

terzurum5: He was not outscoring anyone. He is a good player but the hype was overblown. Go back and you will see that most of the reports of his brilliance were coming from one source then copied by other sources. Isaac Success was not with the team from the start and got into the team. Manu tried to be fair with his selections. 1 Like |

Hibernian keen to retain Ambrose's services Scottish Champion ![]() Scottish Championship side Hibernian have made it clear that they want to retain the services of Efe Ambrose, who is on-loan from Glasgow Celtic. The Nigeria international, who is a defender by trade, is currently on a short-term loan deal at Hibernian from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic. Hibernian manager and coach Neil Lennon has confirmed their interest in signing Ambrose on a permanent deal at the end of the current season. “That’s something we’re looking into,” Lennon told Edinburg Evening News. “He’s not our player, but if we get an opportunity to sit down with him next week and see what his plans are, then it’s something we will pursue. Obviously we’d have to speak to Efe, his representatives and Celtic as well. “It’ll depend on his own personal circumstances. He’s just had a baby boy. Does he want to stay in Scotland? If so, there aren’t many better clubs outside Celtic than here," he continued. ''Does he see himself in England? If so, there are visa issues he’d have to consider. He’s a lot to think about over the next couple of months.” “It’s been a very good move personally for him and also for us. He’s back playing and showing the country what he’s capable of, the quality of player he is. He loves playing football and he’s playing big games again. He’s a great kid to have around the place – he’s a joy to work with," he added. “He knows what I demand because of the familiarity we have there [from their times together at Celtic] and I think he’s enjoyed being around the club. He’s certainly enjoyed the adulation that he’s got from the fans – that’s been in abundance. “I think he needed that because some of the outpourings of ridicule [at Celtic] were way over the top. He’s a class player," he stressed. "As I’ve said before, it’s no disgrace not playing regularly at Celtic at the minute because the bar’s been raised, but he’s still got a huge amount of quality and can play at a very high level in the game. Certainly in the eyes of the public here, Efe has shown what a quality player he is.” The 28-year-old defender has featured in nine league games for Hibernian, who have already won this season's Championship title and clinched promotion to the Premiership. mtnfootball.com/mobi/news/705437/Hibernian-keen-to-retain-Ambroses-services 1 Like |

Villarreal to sign Arsenal target Samuel Chukwueze, academy to get 500,000 Euros One-time target for both Arsenal and FC Porto, Samuel Chukwueze, is now expected to sign a professional contract with Spanish La Liga side Villarreal with his local academy pocketing 500,000 Euros. A source who is familiar with this transaction told SCORENigeria the former Flying Eagles star will be given a pro contract when he clocks 18 on May 22. “Chukwueze has been training with Villarreal and he is expected to bag a pro deal with the club when he is 18,” the source informed. Interestingly, Arsenal were offering almost thrice what Villarreal are now ready to pay for the exciting winger, who scored three goals at the 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup in Chile. Arsenal were willing to fork out 1.5 million pounds, but the transfer fell through after Diamond Academy of Umuahia allegedly reneged on an agreement to pay the London-based agents a certain percentage of the transfer fee of another academy graduate, Kelechi Nwakali, and also an agreement was not reached as to how Chukwueze’s transfer fee will be paid. Ipalibo Jack also from Diamond Academy is already at Villarreal. http://scorenigeria.com.ng/2017/05/01/villarreal-to-sign-arsenal-target-samuel-chukwueze-academy-to-get-500000-euros/ 2 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: I know too many kids who were great at youth football but couldn't progress when it came to the senior professional game. Selection cannot be based on assumption from past glories but present continous performance. Wolfsburg is not Chelsea where the access to first team football from youth football is extremely restricted and difficult. If he is Osimhen unable to claim position in Wolfsburg then there is no merit in inviting him to the SE. It's unfair and not creating a level playing field. Football is about continous progression, V.Moses, Ndidi, Etebor, Aluko, Efe Ambrose, etc are progressing. But Ighalo, Brown, Isaac Success are not. If you are not cutting it in yout club the primary basis for national team selection. What is the basis for your selection. Potential, past glories and or the coach likes you. Keshi was a great coach but he had they same issues that plague most Nigerian managers, undue preference. I want players to be invited on merit, we want the best possible team for the SE, no sentiment attached. 1 Like |

CELTIC STRIKER TARGET TO LEAVE FOR EUROPEAN CLUB THIS WEEK – REPORTS Nigerian teenager Stephen Odey will leave African outfit MFM FC for Rusian side FC Krasnodar this week, according to a report. All Nigeria Soccer had previously claimed that the 19-year-old striker was a Celtic target and that he will travel to Glasgow to undergo a ‘medical evaluation’ as part of a trial. However, OwnGoalNigeria have now quoted a club source stating that “he will leave for Russia before the end of the week,” while he is also unavailable to join Celtic as he doesn’t yet qualify for a work permit. “We read these things and laugh over it. So far only Kuban Krasnodar have been in touch officially. They sent us a mail which contained an offer for Odey. So I wonder where talks about Celtic came from,” told a “club source” to OwnGoalNigeria. “FC Copenhagen offered to have him on trail, through an agent but his manager said Odey won’t be going for any trials. Talking about Celtic those peddling the rumours should know that Odey is not qualified for a work permit yet. “He will leave for Russia before the end of the week. He is going for negotiations with FK Krasnodar and that has been agreed on by the management, so for now that is our stand.” Odey, 19, is highly rated in Africa and is currently leading the scoring charts in the Nigeria Professional Football League having found the net 14 times for his club. He is also being considered for a debut call-up to the senior Nigeria squad at his young age. The Hoops currently have Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths playing as their strikers and Brendan Rodgers may be looking to add further firepower and young legs to his side in the summer. However, despite Odey not being available for a work permit Celtic may remain interested in reported target and fellow Nigerian youngster Henry Onyekuru, who is already playing in Europe with Belgian outfit Eupen. In other Celtic transfer news, a Hoops chief has jetted out on a scouting mission to watch 21-year-old star .

Exclusive: John Ogu Wins The Heart Of Rohr, To Train With Super Eagles In Paris ![]() Israeli-based John Ogu has been handed an opportunity to make the Super Eagles roster for the African Cup of Nations qualifying match with South Africa. The Hapoel Be'er Sheva star has been called up to attend the training camp in Corsica and Paris, where he will be monitored at close quarters by manager Gernot Rohr. This time around, Ogu has made the squad on merit, having caught the eye when he replaced the injured Eddy Onazi in the 25th minute of Nigeria's 1-1 draw with Senegal on March 23. The hardworking central midfielder made his international debut against Kenya back in 2013. This season, John Ogu has appeared 29 times in the Israeli Premier League and opened his goalscoring account against Maccabi Tel Aviv this past weekend. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=22907 2 Likes |

![]() Kelechi Iheanacho © Getty Images Iheanacho linked with Man City exit by Sammy Wejinya Nigerian striker, Kelechi Iheanacho is on the verge of joining German club, Borussia Dortmund if reports in the British press are to be believed. Iheanacho’s English club, Manchester City are reportedly keen on doing business with Dortmund when the transfer window reopens in July which could see the Super Eagles man move to the Signal Iduna Park in the summer. The Citizens have endured one of their toughest campaigns in recent times, and they are not yet assured of a place in next season's Champions League. According to The Sun, Pep Guardiola will seek to revive his interest in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after they face with a tentative approach for his signature last summer. Aubameyang has repeatedly stated his desire to feature for Real Madrid, but it appears that he may have to switch his attention with the European champions not in rush to sign a new striker. City have been chasing the Gabonese marksman for a while, and as reported in The Sun, they are prepared to offer Kelechi Iheanacho as makeweight in a proposed deal for Aubameyang. Iheanacho has largely played backup to the likes of Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, and his future looks bleak at the Etihad despite the former being linked with a potential exit from the club. Borussia Dortmund manager, Thomas Tuchel has been open to the prospect of developing talents in his line-up, and Iheanacho could get his chance to prove his credentials, should a deal be struck in the summer. Iheanacho has scored four times in 18 league appearances for City this season (mostly as a sub).

![]() Alex Iwobi © Getty Images Iwobi vows to return to reckoning by Sammy Wejinya Alex Iwobi has insisted that he will return stronger at English Premier League club, Arsenal. The Nigerian has been relegated to the bench Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger in recent matches following a string of poor displays for the club. He has also had a spell with the club's under-23s this season. He missed five Arsenal games against West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Middlesbrough, Manchester City and Leicester City during this period. The 20-year-old was however again on the bench in Sunday’s North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur as an unused substitute at White Hart Lane. Iwobi is refusing to get downbeat, though, with the promising forward able to draw on past experiences, such as almost being released in his teens, to put his current situation into perspective. “My journey so far has been a bumpy ride, so it’s something I look back on and say to myself,” he told the club’s official Magazine. “If I can overcome things that I believe were worse than what’s going on now, then surely I should be able to overcome this. “It’s tough, especially for the ones who almost get released, which I unfortunately had to go through. It makes you stronger. “If you’re good enough and you apply the work that needs to be done and put in maximum effort then you’ll come through,” he said. He has now set his sights on a return to the high notes he hit earlier in the season. “I’m the type of person who likes to keep moving forward,” added Iwobi. “You have to improve day by day and obviously we’re not doing as well as we believe we should be doing, so when the next challenge comes up we have to try to prove to the fans and prove to everyone at Arsenal what we can do. “We have some big games coming up, so everyone should be pumped up. We need to prove ourselves in these games. “We have to prove to everyone that we can play against these top teams.” Iwobi has scored three goals in 24 league appearances for Arsenal this season.

Aina for FA Cup final? thus may miss the Corsica friendly? .......................................................................................................... Exclusive – Why Gernot Rohr Dropped Chelsea Ola Aina From Super Eagles Squad For France Camp ![]() Chelsea upcoming full back Ola Aina won’t be joining the Super Eagles of Nigeria in their training camp in France, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal. Aina won’t be involved in the training after coach of Chelsea Antonio Conte included him in his plans for the FA Cup final tie against Arsenal on the 27 th of May. Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr is a big fan of the full back after his impressive performance in training when the Super Eagles converge for two friendly games last month, but only played once against Senegal after Burkina Faso failed to show up for the second game due to visa issues to London. Aina was heavily tipped to make his debut for Nigeria in a friendly game for Nigeria against Corsica Island on the 26th of May, but Chelsea’s FA Cup commitment means he will be excused from the camping. Aina, Victor Moses and Alex Iwobi have been permitted by Rohr to miss the France camp, which was organised to help the players prepare adequately well for their AFCON 2019 Qualifiers against South Africa in June. **Osas Mahawi Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/05/01/exclusive-why-gernot-rohr-dropped-chelsea-ola-aina-from-super-eagles-squad-for-france-camp/ |
