Little Known Nigerian Midfielder Leventise Azubuike Pens Three Year Contract With Turkish Side Umraniyespor have officially announced the signing of 20 year old Nigerian midfielder Leventise Owuzie Azubuike on a three year deal. His signing took place in the office of the club president after a short ceremony which had in attendance the president of the club Recep Yogurtcu and coach Ergun Keles alongside the agent of the player. Azubuike joined the team without a single minute of professional football in any level of league football in Nigeria, as he was snapped up from local academy Bethel FC. Umraniyespor are battling to gain promotion to the top flight league in Turkey, which will be historical as they are yet to play in the Turkish Super Lig since their formation in 1938. Back to back promotion saw them move from the TFF Third League to the TFF First League from 2014 -2016, with their aim solely focused on reaching the top league next season. **Daniel Martins Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/07/01/little-known-nigerian-midfielder-leventise-azubuike-pens-three-year-contract-with-turkish-side/ 2 Likes |

Zulte Waregem Newbie Peter Olayinka On Target Again , Nets Brace, Bala Dazzles, Madu Shines Peter Olayinka is showing no sign of slowing down on the form that earned him a return to Belgium after loan spell with Dukla Praha of Czech Republic. Olayinka returned to his parent club Gent, but the forward whose time at the club after his big money move from Albanian side Skenderbreu was cut short by injury was once again farmed out on loan. He joined Zulte Waregem, where he scored on his unofficial debut for the team in a pre season friendly two days ago , a run he continued yesterday with a brace in their tie against Sparta Petegem. The Nigerian scored the 4th and 5th goal for his team in the rout over the third division Belgium side with his fellow Nigerians Kingsley Madu and Aliko Bala also impressive in the tie. Madu lasted the entire duration of the game, the second consecutive game he has been on from start to finish, while Bala helped his cause for a spot in the team with an assist for the third goal. **Ade Emmanuel Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/07/02/zulte-waregem-newbie-peter-olayinka-on-target-again-nets-brace-bala-dazzles-madu-shines/ 2 Likes |

Eagles & Akwa United Star Muazam Reveals Why He Prefers Ronaldo To Kanu Nigeria midfielder Alhassan Ibrahim has revealed that Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is his role model. The 20-year-old’s playing style has been compared to Nigeria legend Nwankwo Kanu, but he feels he’s faster than the former Arsenal attacker. “I know people are saying I play like Kanu, even when I was with the Golden Eaglets. “Am young, I didn’t get to watch a lot of Kanu’s games at the top level, but I went to YouTube to watch some of his clips, how he played and why people are comparing me and him. “I admire Kanu, he’s a very intelligent player but we are different. He’s slow but am fast, but Kanu is more intelligent and I try to learn from what he did. “In the modern game, my role model is Cristiano Ronaldo. I just like how he works hard, his hunger to achieve. “I admire him a lot and I always try to emulate some of his moves.” Alhassan, who made his Super Eagles debut against Togo in June has scored 11 goals for Akwa United in the NPFL this season. **Kingsley Oyero Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/07/02/eagles-akwa-united-star-muazam-reveals-why-he-prefers-ronaldo-to-kanu/ 2 Likes |

Super Eagles Star Peter Utaka Back Among The Goals For FC Tokyo Out-of-favour Nigeria international Peter Utaka returned to scoring ways but could not prevent his side FC Tokyo from losing 3-1 to Cerezo Osaka on game week seventeen in the J League on Sunday, July 2. The 33-year-old netted his first goal in the Japanese top flight since April 1 when he opened the scoring at the KINCHO Stadium (Ōsaka) after 21 minutes. Before the deadlock was broken, Utaka came closest with a long range volley, and few minutes later he tapped in from close range after Nagai had robbed the last line of defense. His other goals this season were against Kawasaki Front, Sagan Tosu, Vegalta Sendai and Omiya Ardija. FC Tokyo is Peter Utaka's sixth club in Asia following spells with Dalian Aerbin, Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Shenxin, Shimizu S-Pulse and Sanfrecce Hiroshima. **Igho Kingsley Photo Credit : fctokyo.co.jp Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=23613 1 Like |

Coach Hails Man City Loanee Nwakali After Maiden Goal : He Has A Sweet Foot Chidiebere Nwakali was praised by his coach after the former Flying Eagles star opened his goalscoring account for Norwegian Tippeligaen club Sogndal Fotball. The versatile midfielder netted his first goal in sixteen matches in Sogndal's 1-0 win against Aalesund at the Fosshaugane Campus on Saturday, before he was sent off in the closing minutes for dangerous play. Reacting to his goal, Nwakali told Eurosport : ''It's great for me to score my first goal for Sogndal. I'm so happy''. Manager Bakke added : "I have challenged him to score goals. He has a sweet foot so it was time''. Manchester City loaned out Chidiebere Nwakali to Sogndal Fotball until August 31, 2017. The 20-year-old has yet to debut for the Citizens at any level due to work permit issues. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Photo Credit : sogndalfotball.no Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=23616 2 Likes |

How Rohr convinced me to dump Belgium for Super Eagles – Dessers By Ifreke Inyang Cyril Dessers has revealed details of his conversation with Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr, which convinced him to opt for Nigeria instead of Beligum. Dessers says Rohr told him in clear teams to pledge his allegiance to Nigeria, if he wants to challenged the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho, Alex Iwobi, Ahmed Musa and Olanrewaju Kayode, for a spot in the national team. The 22-year-old accepted the German tactician’s challenged and has already voiced his preference for the Eagles. “Kelechi Iheanacho and Ahmed Musa are the two undisputed men in my position, not forgetting Olarewaju Kayode who plays for Austria Wien. After them there’s a spot. I did had contact with the coach some few weeks back and he advise me to take a step higher. Hence my move to Utrecht to prove myself worthy of selection for Nigeria,” he told Sports/Football Magazine. “I will be happy to play for either Nigeria or Belgium, but playing for Belgium is a little bit complicated, as all the strikers in front of me above 30 years and might all leave in the next three years, I would have been patient for an opportunity, but that is not the case. “The World Cup 2018 is around the corner. If I score 20 goals for Utrecht and one of the strikers missed out through injury, I might have a chance. I hope my dream of wearing the Nigeria shirt draws near in few months time.” Source: http://dailypost.ng/2017/07/04/rohr-convinced-dump-belgium-super-eagles-dessers/ 4 Likes |

Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr meets Antonio Conte By Osita Duru. Ahead of the Super Eagles September 1 Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in Uyo, Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, has commenced consultations with the European based Super Eagles players and the managers to secure their assurances and early release for the much important cracker. President of the NFF, Amaju Pinnick , said during an interview yesterday in Abuja that Rohr met with Eagles and Mainz 05 defender, Leon Balogun, who now has a new coach. Pinnick also disclosed that the Technical Adviser will travel to London today, where he would be expected to meet with Chelsea Coach, Antonio Conte and Victor Moses, adding that Rohr will also meet with other Super Eagles players in London to ensure their early release for the match. Both Moses and Balogun were missing in action when the Super Eagles lost 0-2 to visiting South Africa during the 2019 AFCON qualifying match last month. “We have commenced preparations for the match against Cameroon. As I talk to you, the Technical Adviser is in Europe, he met with his friend, Leon Balogun and his new coach today (Yesterday) and he will be meeting with Victor Moses and his Coach, Conte on Tuesday. “The coach will also meet with other players in Europe before returning home. The essence of these meetings is to get their assurances for the game, also to secure their early release from their club managers. This is because of the importance we attach to the match. “For us, we believe that there is no course for alarm, one thing that is sure in that match is that we will beat Cameroon and we are on top of it. As CAF and FIFA organising member, I have decided to abandon my role in international football for now because we are strategizing to win that game. I could not be in South Korea for a FIFA committee meeting; I could not be in Russia for the just concluded FIFA Confederations cup. All these I turned down even though I was highly needed in them because of the Cameroon match and I am sure it will not be in vain,” Pinnick noted Source: http://www.thebreakingtimes.com/super-eagles-technical-adviser-gernot-rohr-meets-antonio-conte/ 2 Likes |

Chelsea's Nigerian Right Wing-Back Linked With Move To Hull City Former England U19 skipper Ola Aina is being linked with a transfer to EFL Championship side Hull City, allnigeriasoccer.com understands. It is believed that the Tigers have made an enquiry about the possibility of signing the Chelsea wonderkid on a season-long loan move. New Hull City manager Leonid Slutskiy has an excellent relationship with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, and spent the first five months of this year at the Blues Academy. This is a World Cup season and Aina is aware that he needs to be playing on a regular basis in order to be named on the World Cup roster, having pledged his international future to Nigeria. Last season, Aina's options were limited due to the emergence of Victor Moses as a full back, and he could only make six appearances in all competitions for the first team. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Photo Credit : chelseafc.com Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=23614 1 Like |

Breaking-Exclusive: Super Eagles World Cup Star Jets To Norway To Complete FK Haugesund Move Nigeria international Michael Uchebo has snubbed mega offers from Asian and Middle East clubs for a return to Europe. Uchebo is understood to have received huge concrete offers from Saudi Arabia, UAE and Indonesia. Madura United signed Super Eagles star Peter Odemwingie after trying unsuccessfully for months to land Uchebo. Uchebo left Boavista unceremoniously following the intervention of Fifa and Fipro after the Portuguese club failed to honour his 20,000 euros net a month salary and did not pay him for several months. The striker has played nearly 200 matches in Holland, Belgium and Portugal and has 7 international caps for Nigeria. It is understood that Uchebo prefers to continue his career in Europe instead of Middle East and Asia because he believes he still has a lot to offer in the Europe. He featured in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, playing against France and Argentina. The giant attacker is renowned for his aerial presence, great dribbling ability and hold up play. He is not your typical goal scoring type of striker but his physical presence, unique style of play and creativity makes him a very dangerous player. It is understood that FK Haugesund have been trying for quite some time to secure the striker's services and a deal seemed impossible. It appears, however, that the Haugesund brass might have finally succeeded to land the player as the player is learnt to have bid farewell to his family and boarded a flight to Norway. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=23620 1 Like |

Belgian-Nigerian Eagles Wannabe Dessers On Target For Dutch Side Against Rubin Kazan Super Eagles Belgian-Nigerian hopeful Cyril Dessers opened his goal account for his new side FC Utrecht in their 1-1 draw against Russian side Rubin Kazan in a pre season friendly. Dessers struck in the 10th minute of play before Rubin Kazan’s Brazilian forward Jonathan levelled matters for his team with a strike in the 44th minutes of the pre season tie. The goal was his first goal for the team he joined few months ago after powering NAC Breda to the top flight league in Holland with 22 goals in the regular season, and seven more during the play offs. 22 year old Dessers has already voiced his intention to play for Nigeria ahead of Belgium as he fancies his chances of making the grades with the Super Eagles than the senior national team of Belgium. Yet to be capped at any level by either Belgium or Nigeria, the closest he came towards a first cap was when he made the bench for the U-20 of Belgium in a tie few years ago but didn’t get to play. **Osas Mahawi Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/07/03/belgian-nigerian-eagles-wannabe-dessers-on-target-for-dutch-side-against-rubin-kazan/ 1 Like |

NFF Yet To Accept New Date For Eagles Against Cameroon Clash In Uyo The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are yet to accept the shift in date done by FIFA for their World Cup 2018 Qualifiers tie against Cameroon in Uyo. FIFA shifted the date for the clash at the Nest of Champions Stadium in Uyo from the earlier date of September 1st to the 30th of August due to issues bordering on Television broadcast. Nigeria have however not replied FIFA over the new date communicated to them last week as they hope to persuade FIFA to see reasons why the game should not be moved backward. Informed sources at the NFF told this portal that a fresh request for the tie to hold on the 1st of September will be submitted later this week to FIFA for consideration. Part of the reason why the NFF want the game to be played on the 1st of September is to have a full house at the Stadium, which is not guaranteed if the tie is played on a Friday, which happens to be the 30th of August date announced by FIFA. **Ade Emmanuel Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/07/03/nff-yet-to-accept-new-date-for-eagles-against-cameroon-clash-in-uyo/ |

Coach Rohr, who is currently on tour of Europe, where he will meet with the Super Eagles players and their managers ahead of World Cup qualifying game against Cameroon in Uyo will also seek the opportunity of the meeting to ask for early release of the player for the cracker, as Iheanacho would be one of his most wanted players for the game. Iheanacho has been linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium Rohr will like to know the prospect of playing time for the 20 year old if he remains at City at the end of the current transfer window, or if a move to one of the teams pushing for his signature will be beneficial for his career. Already Leicester City are reported to be the favourite to land the forward but West Ham are yet to give up on their chances, and report has it that they have agreed City’s option of a buy back clause in the deal for Iheanacho.

Last year, his performance in pre-season ticked the right boxes, with the striker netting against MLS All-Stars, Guadalajara, Viking and Manchester City. Alex Iwobi will also come under close scrutiny in the next one month after losing his spot in the Gunners starting eleven towards the end of last season due to a drop in form.
