Watched him yesterday and he was quite confident on the ball. His ball handling skills is also top notch. I think he will just walk into this Super Eagles team. Mark my words! O pari TheSuperNerd: |

Good to know. I would like them to give Cameroun a tough fight in Younde and, hopefully, shock them. That way, Cameroun would be mathematically out of contention even before our final match with Algeria. But as far as I know, what stands between us and Russia 2018 is the Indomitable Lions of Cameroun. O pari TheSuperNerd: |

Dinamo Zagreb, Al Ain, English, German Clubs In Race For Kayode ![]() Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb have identified Nigeria international Olarenwaju Kayode as a transfer target in the summer transfer window, according to reports. Croatian media Sportske Novosti says Al Ain are also interested in his signature, but the Austria Vienna frontman prefers a move to the German Bundesliga. Kayode's Croatian teammate Ognjen Vukojevic confirmed the interest from Dinamo Zagreb, stating : ''Kayode and I are good friends, so I say that if Dinamo want to take him to Maksimir they have to hurry. ''I know that two or three clubs from Germany and two, three clubs from England are interested in him.'' With 16 goals from 31 league appearances, Kayode has a very good chance of finishing the season as top scorer, and more teams will join the race for his signature. The 24-year-old is contracted to Austria Vienna until the summer of 2019. **Igho Kingsley Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=23068 |

NEWCASTLE TIPPED TO MAKE SURPRISE MOVE FOR NIGERIAN INTERNATIONAL By David J Tully ![]() Newcastle are interested in Celtic defender Efe Ambrose, according to Scottish Sun journalist Kenny MacDonald. The Nigerian international has been on loan at Scottish Championship side Hibernian this season, playing under former Hoops boss Neil Lennon, but the Magpies are said to be interested in the 28 year old to give Newcastle’s defence some much needed experience. The centre back has played in the Champions League for Celtic, and also has 47 caps for Nigeria. Considering he has been playing in the second tier of Scottish football this campaign however, a move by manager Rafa Benitez seems extremely unlikely. The Scottish Sun have however linked the Magpies with a bid for another Celtic player, Jozo Simunovic. The Croatian has been heavily linked with a move to St James’ Park in recent weeks and it seems the £9million rated centre half is one of the names on club’s summer transfer wish list to shore up the backline for the Premier League.

Azubuike is one player I really like. He was very pivotal to build team gaining promotion. Very dynamic player. He Onazi's mf pairong could be very good. Only fear is that both are box to box and may constantly make forays forward ehoch vould expose the defence sometimes. Other than that, i really wanna see both play alongside Ndidi and lets see what happens. Icon79: |

If Southampton sign Kelechi Iheanacho on loan he would take St Mary's by storm By Vincent Ralph. Southampton have been linked with a move for the Manchester City striker. ![]() According to a recent report from the Daily Mail , Southampton are interested in signing Kelechi Iheanacho on loan from Manchester City next season, and if the Saints can do a deal for the Nigerian he could take St Mary's by storm. The same report suggests City are keen to sell him, meaning Southampton may be disappointed if they are not willing to fork out the £20million seemingly required. However, if City realise they would be making a mistake cashing in on him so soon and instead send him out on loan, the south coast is the perfect place to continue his development. Iheanacho has scored 21 goals for City despite only ever making 20 starts for the club - the kind of record that prompts a double-take and a feeling of disbelief. The majority of the 20-year-old's appearances have come from the bench, but given his innate talent in front of goal, imagine what he could do if played week in, week out at a club like Southampton. ![]() Saints manager Claude Puel has already proved astute in the transfer market and Iheanacho's temporary addition would allow his side to benefit while also ensuring City see what the youngster can do when a regular starter. It would be crazy to sell the Nigerian so soon, and Southampton should do all they can to push for a loan move. Iheanacho is the real deal, and if he did arrive at St Mary's he could be their savviest capture in many a year. ![]() Source: http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/05/16/if-southampton-sign-kelechi-iheanacho-on-loan-he-would-take-st-m/ 2 Likes |

What can we do to have a club big and wealthy and creative enough to contest the pride of al ahly and zamalek in african football? They made top 50best in the world. We need an npfl club to do something. football is no longer just kicking around. And sponsorship to aid consistency too. Enough of management by state govt jare. Lasgidi better wake up from the slumber. In other news, Nacho must move to a team in ucl, more likely europa. saints who? if only juve or sevilla get eye. |

TheSuperNerd: I believe I made it known some months back that Kelechi will be a big hit at Southampton. The club and manager is just perfect for him. I don't really fancy Dortmund with the rumoured exit of Zorc and probably Tuchel. Southampton is a better fit and quite a stable environment for a young player like Kelechi. |

Joebie:The club is wealthy, but do they have a philosophy, pattern or vision? I saw what they did in anambra and a pro club shouldnt be doing such by now. They should wake up so they can beat zamalek, el merikk, tp mazembe, sundowns, etc, on their way to african glory. The psychology of not winning an away tie is a cancer in npfl. 1 Like 1 Share |

We are talking about clubs not leagues. I'm saying if any club at the moment have the kind of financial backing to do that, it's definitely Ifeanyi Ubah FC. But its gonna take some time..talking philosophy etc like you rightly pointed. I remember the West Ham deal, I don't know how much that is paying off, but he pulled a big one there. daveP: |
