hahahahahaha

@ Supernerd, Don't worry, ANS is saying BS this time. Iheanacho is not in Paris. I don't get why those 2 sites keep fighting. I don't think Owngoal strives to counter ANS, but ANS always tries to rubbish every news on Owngoal. Even though Owngoal reports some fabricated stories, I know they are not the ones always looking to pick a fight.

You are very correct Sir..... very much on point. Owngoalnigeria seems to be right in this matter but ANS are being spoilsports with news trying so hard to counter Owngoalnigeria....

Well... lemme drop the most reliable piece of info I just stumbled upon from city watch on this Nacho transfer saga and you will see that Owngoalnigeria have been quite on point for the most parts all along...

But yes oooo... owngoal still fabricates news sometimes... same as ANS too.

West Ham submit bid for Kelechi Iheanacho with City demanding clause in any sale
By City Watch
Posted on May 27, 2017.





West Ham have submitted an offer for young Manchester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho, who looks set to join the growing list of players leaving the Etihad this summer.

Considered to be the best West Ham news source around,
@ExWHUemployee says a bid has been made for 20-year-old Iheanacho, who scored a penalty for Nigeria in a friendly against Corsica yesterday to earn them a 1-1 draw.

We so far have no other bids accepted for any players although we had submitted a bid for the Man City forward. It's still very early days
— ExWHUemployee (@ExWHUemployee) May 27, 2017

City want to ensure a Paul Pogba type situation doesn’t occur in future by including a buy-back clause in any deal to sell Iheanacho, who is subject to interest from a number of clubs across Europe.

It is true that Manchester City do want to insert a buy back clause into the deal which is an indication of how much potential he has
— ExWHUemployee (@ExWHUemployee) May 27, 2017

There are some reports from Nigeria that Iheanacho has already flown back to England for a West Ham medical. And it does appear that is true.

For all you transfer rumour lovers Kelechi Iheanacho has just boarded my flight back from Paris to Manchester
— MCFCReserves&Academy (@MCFC_EDS_ACAD) May 27, 2017

There is also a possibility that other clubs could make offers for the Nigerian striker, who is expected to fetch £20 million or more when sold this summer.

Players' ratings according to Owngoalnigeria.........

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Corsica 1-1 Nigeria – Players Ratings; Onyekuru Disappoints, Etebo MOTM, Mu’azam Shines, Odey Impresses




The Super Eagles of Nigeria forced the French Island of Corsica to a 1-1 draw in a friendly meant to prepare the Nigerian team for their upcoming AFCON 2019 Qualifiers against South Africa next month.

Owngoalnigeria.com foreign correspondent Michael James was at the Stade François Coty in Ajaccio where the game was played, and rates the Nigerian players on parade.


Ikechukwu Ezenwa – Didn’t have much to do during the course of the game dominated by Nigeria, and could do nothing about the goal scored by Corsica via the spot. Looked calm and commanding especially in dealing with crosses into the box…..6.5/10

Tyronne Ebuehi – The Dutch-Nigerian full back had a rude introduction to international football, giving away a penalty very early into his first game for Nigeria, but he recovered brilliantly from the set back, particularly in the second half but he still need to work on his marking abilities….6/10


Elderson Echiejile – His experience was very clear to see, strong and very smart in tackles, not the quickest but wasn’t beaten for pace. His forays upfront also helped the Eagles in attack in the second half. A fine display from the stand in captain….. 7/10


Chidozie Awaziem – Awaziem proved why he is so highly rated by Portuguese side FC Porto with an almost flawless display in his first game for Nigeria. Quick, very strong in the air and in duels. His ball playing abilities was also another area which caught out attention….. 7/10


William Troost– Ekong – Was his usual self, full of energy, running and commitment. Loves to take a tackle for his team, always willing to put his body where it hurts. Dovetailed nicely with Awaziem in the heart of Nigeria defence as Corsica failed to mount any serious challenge….. 7/10


Mikel Agu – Quick in turning defence into attack with forward passes. He had a very commanding game in the middle for Nigeria. Covered lot of grounds, the only major drawback was his unwillingness to join the attack even when Corsica sit back to defend….. 7/10


Oghenekaro Etebo – Can easily pass as the man of the match. Clearly the best player on the pitch for both teams. Strong, quick and incisive, he was too good for the Corsica defence. Brought down for the penalty converted by Iheanacho which. drew Nigeria level….. 8.5/10


Alhassan Ibrahim – Mu’azam as he is fondly called was one of the best players for Nigeria in the first half, and twice came close to scoring with one of his efforts bringing out a parried safe from the goalkeeper of Corsica. Headed wide when he should have done better in a promising position. Tired out in the second half….. 7/10


Ahmed Musa – Failed to connect a spilled ball by the goalkeeper of Corsica after a well hit drive for Mu’azam, but overall was too much for the left back of Corsica to handle. Musa’s raw pace and quick feet helped Nigeria win fouls and his unselfish play was wasted by Onyekuru who failed to connect with the goalkeeper at his mercy….. 8/10


Kelechi Iheanacho – The Manchester City man brought out a fine save from the Corsica shot stopper from what looked like a half chance. Didn’t quite imposed himself in the first half, but was very lively in the second half, had a hand in the move that lead to the penalty for Nigeria, which he converted to maintain his fine scoring record for Nigeria….. 7/10


Henry Onyekuru – Looked lost and tensed. Missed a sitter which could have drawn Nigeria level shortly after they went behind. Took up goal scoring positions but wasn’t clinical enough to convert them. Presently highly sort after by top clubs in Europe after his 24 goals haul for Eupen, Onyekuru had a debut he won’t want to remember in a hurry….. 6/10



Substitutes –

Stephen Odey – The top scorer in the Nigeria Premier League took the game by the scruff of it’s neck after coming on for Nigeria. Eager to shot at goal and had an effort on target. Link up play was also brilliant particularly with his back to goal…… 6.5/ 10

Shehu Abdullahi – Picked up a yellow card for foul play but overall helped stabilised the defence of Nigeria, showed commitment and a willingness to get into duels for his team….. 6/10

Uche Agbo – Helped sprayed the ball around nicely, his range of passes gave the Eagles attackers a lot to feed on. Not quick but takes up good positions which nullified any potential danger posed by Corsica on the break…..5.5/10

Sikiru Olatubosun – Tried to bring his positive energy when he came on, but didn’t have enough time to settle into the game. Nice touches though few times he got the ball….. 5/10

It is evident the person that produced these ratings "has a thing against Henry Onyekuru"

How can you say somebody disappointed on his debut just because he did not score

Was he the only Super Eagles player that failed to score

Waiting for the full match tape.

Kayode Joins Super Eagles Camp In Controversial Circumstances, Suspended After Getting Himself Booked




Austria Vienna striker Olarenwaju Kayode is on his way to Paris to link up with the Super Eagles ahead of their international friendly with Togo on June 1.

Initially, the ex-Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles star had been omitted from the roster due to club commitments with the Austrian Bundesliga side.

'Fortune smiled on Kayode' after he picked up his fifth yellow card in domestic competitions in Thursday's Bundesliga clash against Red Bull Salzburg, which automatically triggered a one-game suspension and ruled him of the final game of the season against Admira on Sunday.

It has been suggested that the leading marksman in Austria deliberately got himself booked in the 83rd minute of the contest against Salzburg.

The Nigeria international was cautioned in the closing minutes of the last two games in the Bundesliga, and was last booked six months ago (November 27 against Wolfsberger ) before the strange episodes.
