Reports – Leicester City In Portugal For Talks With CD Feirense Over Oghenekaro Etebo ![]() According to reports sourced by Owngoalnigeria.com editorial team English Premier League side Leicester City have sent their representative to Portugal to thrash out a deal for Nigerian star Oghenekaro Etebo. Futbol Gastesi in a post on their official twitter handle says the CD Feirense star is a prime target for Leicester City and Turkish side Fenerbahce who are both looking to strengthen their team in this window. While Etebo is more inclined to moving to Leicester City, the report has it that Fenerbahce have not given up yet on his chase, as they are also in Portugal to convince Feirense to do a deal. Feirense are opened to the idea of letting the forward leave but their terms and valuation of the man who joined them 18 months ago must be met by interested parties. A price tag of around 20 million euros has been placed on him by the team, but it is believed he will be allowed to leave for a fee in the region of 10 million euros plus add ons. **Daniel Martins Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/06/25/reports-leicester-city-in-portugal-for-talks-with-cd-feirense-over-oghenekaro-etebo/ 1 Like |

I for see him reversing to the SS role and oshimen taking the cf role....that's why I pray these Leicester move for nacho come to pass... an SS role will bring out the best from that kid and show the man city faithfuls their ignorance of the lad potentials... 1 Like |

RichardKajola: Watch the goals again but this time keep your eyes on Nacho during the build up of the goals. You will notice his electric movement, awareness and intuition to get to the position for the goals. That is what makes him special. The goals look like tap in but it is not luck when you do it repeatedly. A good example is his goal against Hull City assisted by Sterling. Watch the dash into the box. No one says Nacho can not play as a support striker but I disagree with the term better suited for. It has more to do with enjoying watching him on the ball and scoring goals that will blow our roofs off. However, as a point man with brilliant service, he might not look glamorous but he makes the team more clinical and score goals. It falls back to strategy and approach of the game. Mikel is delightful watching him in attack midfield but when it comes to Chelsea, he was one of the safest bet to hold and screen the defence. He might get ridiculed for not doing much for the team but his efficiency kept the team solid at the back. 2 Likes |

Super Eagles Star Alex Iwobi Is The Third Least Paid First-Teamer At Arsenal ![]() Nigeria international Alex Iwobi is not one of the top earners at FA Cup kings Arsenal. Based on statistics compiled by the Daily Star, the Gunners number seventeen takes home 30,000 pounds (around N13.74 million) every week, £120,000 less than the highest paid player, new signing Sead Kolasinac. Iwobi is the third least paid player at the Emirates outfit, he gets triple the wages of England U21 star Rob Holding and six times the amount paid to Poland youth-teamer Krystian Bielik. The Hale End Academy product pocketed £850-per-week after signing his first professional contract with the Gunners in May 2014, a reward for his outstanding performance in the FA Youth Cup. Last season, the highly-rated winger made 39 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Photo Credit : arsenal.com Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=23534 |

TheSuperNerd: Haha haha. I Don see players o. But if really ask me Iheanacho is not doing badly. I see him as being on the ascendancy. I didn't raise my hopes too high on him in the first place so to me he is doing just fine. He just needs to move to a club where he will gather more playing time. His years of apprenticeship is over. So he needs to start doing it from next season. If we had a better striker than Iheanacho, sure he will get my nod. But the simple truth is we don't. 2 Likes |

Sir Forgiveness.... you and I agree on his best position. You are right to say he is much more influential and more glamorous in game plays from the SS and AM positions. That is noted. But fact is the lad's also good as a CF/Top striker/no.9. And he is the best we have upfront for now. And talking about giving chances... Martins, Ideye, Ighalo have nothing to prove again as we have seen them. It is only Kayode that we can somewhat have a case for. Osimhen is still little. He should take a backseat for now. But playing Kayode over Nacho will be very very suicidal because even Kayode for all he achieved this past season isn't as Super clinical or well rounded as Nacho. Come on man... we both love the Super Eagles. And the reason I still engage you most times is because I have seen you drop some very good posts concerning our team in terms of the other quality options we have in other positions of the team. This is you at your very positive best here on this thread and not when you are trying to talk down another player's quality or running on half-truths/quarter-truths. Look Sir, being the striker with the best goals per mins ratio in the EPL since August 2015 when all stats for The 59 players with 10+ EPL goals are taken into account is not something you just look at and walk past. Among those 59 players are Aguero, Kane, Lukaku and more. Also.... he's got the best goals conversion rate in the high class EPL. 63.2% conversion rate. And he's got 12 goals from 12 starts in the EPL since August 2015. You cannot just see all these and term Nacho not good enough for the CF role. It is absolutely in contradiction of Good logical reasoning and sound analysis. He is better and far more super as an AM or SS. True.... that is correct. But He is also good and very clinically effeftive as a CF/ST/No.9 and he is our best shot upfront right now since we have Mikel already in the AM role.... But upfront we are lacking... and it is only logical to place our most lethal finisher there. forgiveness: 1 Like |

Akpeyi Out In The Cold As Carl Ikeme Returns For Eagles Tie Against Cameroon ![]() Daniel Akpeyi future in the senior national team is seriously in doubt following the return to training of first choice goalkeeper Carl Ikeme ahead of Nigeria’s tie against Cameroon in the World Cup 2018 Qualifiers. Akepyi broke into the team and won the trust and confidence of coach Gernot Rohr ahead of Dele Alampasu and Ikechukwu Ezenwa in the absence of Ikeme, but after the 0-2 loss against South Africa, Akpeyi was faulted for the goals conceded by the Nigeria media. Rohr confirmed after the game that Ikeme’s return will no doubt see him reclaim his number one shirt for the clash against Cameroon, and it appears he is well on course to be back for the game after his injury troubles. Ikeme missed the end of the season games for Wolverhampton Wanderers last season due to injury, but he recently post pictures of himself closing in on a return as his team get set for pre season training. His return will no doubt leave Akpeyi’s future in doubt, because as suggested by Rohr, the Chippa United ace didn’t cover himself in glory in the games he kept goal in Ikeme’s absence. **Ade Emmanuel Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/06/25/akpeyi-out-in-the-cold-as-carl-ikeme-returns-for-eagles-tie-against-cameroon/ |

Yelz ooooo..... ![]() In fact, Rohr just got off the phone with Nabil Trabelsi.... We are watching this game with keenness especially to sew the new guy Cameoroun brought into their midfield. Mandjeck.... a more defensively minded passing midfielder. He replaces Djoum. Arguably Cameron's best passing midfielder. Modified Was speaking based on their first XI which came to me via Fifa TV on YouTube long before 4pm... plsss bear with my faux pas. I am with Rohr now... ![]() ![]() And The Camerounian midfield is the same with Anguissa in his usual advanced midfield role as the AMF and Djoum as the CMF and Siani as the DMF. Mandjeck is on the bench. Thanks. Icon4s: 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd: By the time Anichebe was Osimhen age he was not just a potential prospect but had become a regular for Everton. He started playing for the first in the EPL at age 17 and although he wasn't prolific along side Yakubu earned a good reputation. Furthermore he did not start his lcareer Injury prone it was after he had his leg fractured that most of his problems began. Osimhen had not kicked a ball for the first team before he was already out Injured all season, not his fault but just bad luck. Youth football is not professional senior football and Osimhen relies on past glories. Bringing a player who has done absolutely nothing all season, recovering from Injury add to that no past professional pedigree to justify a call up to the SE. This is totally unfair, on the basis of personal judgement in my opinion it is undue favoritism it is not objective and or professional. It is disservice to other more deserving hard working professionals. A youth player who would not be able to get into most EPL academies as it stands invited to the SE. It's not bias but calm, collected objectivity to say he is TOTALLY UNDESERVING of a call up. The SE is not for experimentation but selection should be merit not speculative assumptions. These are some of the reasons why we find it difficult to attract Nigerian origin players to the SE. Lack of professionalism and a clear cut open objectivity in player selection. Aluko Sone is an example after committing to the SE why has he not been invited back. Tell me a player in the past five years who is better in his position from Nigeria. Sadly buy true it is indicative of nepotism and corruption. 1 Like |

How Cameroun is not one or two nil down now is quite surprising. Germany have had the best chances. But Bassogog have been lively a few times shaa... but that German leftwing back, Plattenhardt, is really policing Boassog. Hector didn't even start. Germany playing three at the back with Kimmich and Plattenhardt as wingbacks (right and left respectively). Cameoroun work the balls very well to the edge of the opponent's box especially from Bassogog's wing but their problem is finishing and decision-making in the final third. That is the issue in their attack. But remember... this is Germany. Very strong opposition even with their youngsters on display. |

I dey tell you..... Bassogog has been switching wings and looking their most dangerous and most viable outlet in attack. His only problem is finishing and that key final decision making in the final third. And Anguissa brought out a super acrobatic save from Ter Stegen.... Cameoroun's best and only real chance of the half. Anguissa got good eyes for goals. He is dangerous too. Icon4s: |
