Hannover 96 Loan Out German-Nigerian Eagles Wannabe (Fabian Senninger) To Meppen





Newly promoted German Bundesliga side Hannover 96 have extended the contract of Fabian Senninger which was due to expire on the 30th of this month by a further two years, meaning he is tied to the club till the summer of 2020.

However he will spend next season on loan to third division side Meppen a move which according to the manager of Hannover 96 Horst Heldt will help him develop into a first team player for the Bundesliga side.

Signed from Nike Academy last year, he went on to make 28 appearances for the U23 of the Bundesliga side last season with a goal and two assists to his name, a development which Heldst says he hope he maintains at Meppen.

”For Fabian’s development, the move to a third division side is the right step, because the games are considerably higher in quality than the regional league that he played last season. The intensity of the games with help increase his performances level”, the coach said.

Eligible for Nigeria and Germany, the recently returned 21 year old who is yet to be capped by any of the country he is Eligible for has voiced his desires to represent Nigeria ahead of Germany.

Exclusive – Dele Aiyenugba Set For Shock Recall To Super Eagles Unless Enyeama Make …..



Former Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper Dele Aiyenugba could be in line for a shock recall to the senior national team of Nigeria, owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Present first choice of the senior national team of Nigeria Carl Ikeme might be forced into a premature retirement as he has been diagnosed to be having acute Leukaemia, which has further deepens the goalkeeper crisis rocking the national team of Nigeria.

Coach Gernot Rohr used Daniel Akpeyi in the absence of Ikeme, but the Chippa United man failed to impress in the Eagles last game against South Africa which ended 0-2 in favour of Bafana Bafana in Uyo in the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers.

Unsatisfied with Akpeyi’s display in the game, the coach is looking for experienced shot stopper ahead of Nigeria’s World Cup 2018 qualifiers back to back game against Cameroon in August and September, as he believes Dele Alampasu isn’t ready yet for a game of that magnitude.

Although the coach is in regular contact with erstwhile goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, he won’t be pushing him for a return as he has long left the door open for Enyeama to communicate to him when he is ready to return to the team.

If Enyeama fails to contact Rohr, the coach will switch to Aiyenugba who kept 33 games last season for Hapoel Ashkelon in the Israeli top division, following his move from Bnei Yehuda where he has been since 2009.

33 year old Aiyenugba last kept goal for Nigeria in 2011 against Guinea, a game Nigeria drew 2-2 , hence missed out on the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

Kelechi Iheanacho transfer could be a risk for Pep Guardiola and Man City
By ADNAN RIAZ





Kelechi Iheanacho could be a name that comes back to haunt Pep Guardiola one day.

The 20-year-old Nigerian striker is thought to be close to completing a transfer to Leicester City for a fee of around £25m.

The price tag is hardly a dent in today’s market value. But for £25m, a player of Iheanacho’s ability and age could prove to be a steal in this transfer window.

Guardiola wants to create a dynasty at Manchester City. The Blues boss is in the process of rebuilding an ageing squad by bringing exciting young talent to the Etihad. But some City fans will be raising their eyebrows at the thought of Iheanacho leaving this summer.
Guardiola has Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Agüero to lead City’s strike force, as well as the possible addition of Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez to add even more attacking talent to the mix.

The future of Wilfried Bony remains uncertain - and unless a buyer is found he will be expected back for pre-season. His City career has struggled to lift off, falling short of the superb goal-scoring form he once had at Swansea.

Iheanacho offers Guardiola a real alternative - an ambitious and exciting youth academy product ready to rise to the occasion.
It could be the spark that Guardiola is looking for in his team - and he could be part of the future of City’s forwards.
Guardiola only needs to look across the city of Manchester to see how Marcus Rashford has lit up the United squad.
Rashford is the boy wonder for United fans. He’s a living, breathing symbol that the youth academy is a staple of United’s philosophy.
And there’s a more likely chance of Mourinho leaving United before Rashford is allowed to move to another Premier League club.

Guardiola previously expressed his desire to see City’s youth playing a central role at the club. But some would argue it will be a step in the other direction if Iheanacho leaves.

With Iheanacho, perhaps Guardiola’s most feasible solution
would have been a season-long loan - as that would have allowed him to gain valuable first-team experience and minutes on the pitch in the Premier League.

But if City are ready to let a promising player leave, the club needs to fight tooth and nail to include a buy back clause or a sell-on fee in his transfer.

Iheanacho could be the best buy of the transfer window for Leicester City. And Guardiola will have to hope that he doesn't one day come to regret his departure.

maidaboi:
he should take alook at the npfl goalkeepers, out of 20 teams there must be a good goalkeeper now

Napoleon55:
Guardiola doesn't hope but I hope that one day he will regret his departure.

Napoleon55:
This Man-city club and Guardiola self,i hate the way they do things and how they reason,they are too greedy and at the same time too selfish.
First they don't want Iheanacho to go to any of the top 4 clubs or their rival,
Second,they don't want any of the mid-tab club that would purchase him to make any profit when they decide to sell him by inserting a nonsense buy back clause,ie like determining a business man who purchased goods from u how much he is going to sell it, it doesn't make sense business wise,but to them it's very wise.

they don't want to sell their players to their rivals,but are so determine to buy the very best from their rival, this is nonsense , ok,why not swap Iheanacho with Sanchess they want to break bank for,and let Iheanacho goes to Arsena, a club that would be ready to improve his career.
It's too frustrating. I wonder if they can try this with an English man.

Claudio Ranieri Excited As Chidozie Awaziem Sparkles In First Game For Nantes




Fans of French Ligue 1 side Nantes got to see a glimpse of the quality of their new signing Chidozie Awaziem in their 2-2 draw against Switzerland side FC Laussane Sport in a pre season friendly ahead the start of the French Ligue 1.
Awaziem completed his loan move from Porto to Nantes two days ago, and the 20 year old who has two senior national team caps for Nigeria was thrown into the deep end by coach Claudio Ranieri after his team let slip a two goal lead.

Nantes were leading 2-0 but FC Laussane Sport drew level in the second half, and with Nantes under severe pressure Ranieri introduced Awaziem who gave a performance that helped his team keep the Swiss side at bay.

Awaziem even came close to scoring from a free kick with a header, and his performances drew him praises from Ranieri who pointed out that his introduction helped his team get a strong hold on proceedings.

The coach dropped a big hint that Awaziem could start their next pre season fixtures as he confirmed some players who were introduced in the second half of the FC Laussane Sport tie will be in the starting line up in their next game.

PETER OLAYINKA NETS HAT-TRICK ON ZULTE-WAREGEM DEBUT
By Shina Oludare



The 21-year-old put a starring role in his first outing for the Belgian Pro League outfit on Saturday


Peter Olayinka showed K.A.A Gent what they are missing by scoring a hat-trick on his debut for Zulte-Waregem in their 7-1 victory over Roeselare.

It was his first game for the Belgian side since his loan move from K.A.A Gent – after completing his spell at Czech Republic’s FK Dukla Prague.

And on his first outing for Essevee, the Nigerian offered a demonstration of his goal-scoring instincts against the Belgian second division side.

He found the back of the net in the 11th, 23rd and 51st minutes, while Ivan Saponjic got a brace with Sandy Walsh and Leya Isheka completed the rout.

I think I like that....then moses will start taking his national team call up seriously....

BascoVanVeli:


How? Playing for the national team won't make him untouchable.

Humility017:


I think...playing all season for Chelsea has made him believe he needs little engagement wit the national team to become the player he wanna be..
the desire to stay fit and keep playing for club I think make some of those injuries claim...
