edi287: That is all nice to hear but none of those players are getting singled out as we speak. There is even a website named Pain In The Arsenal and for the past year almost all their articles centered on bashing the boy. I repeat if u have time to be talking about Alex Iwobi instead of worrying about ur cotton soft defense and lack of protection from a DMF then u have mistaken priorities as an Arsenal fan. 1 Like |

UEFA Top 50 Talents: Bonaventure Dennis listed Club Brugge and Nigerian forward Dennis Bonaventure has been listed among the Top 50 talents in Europe by UEFA. The 20-year-old Dennis has got off to a great start in Belgium after his transfer from Zorya of Ukraine. “Last season, he was still a regular name in the Europa League for Zorya Luhansk, since his transfer to Belgium, he has now also started scoring – six goals in 16 league matches,” UEFA rated. His team Club Brugge lead the Belgian top flight by the halfway mark. Felix Udokhai, a defender with Wolfsburg and whose father is Nigerian, is also listed in this prestigious group. The listing also has Phil Foden of Manchester City, Malcolm of Bordeaux and Justin Kluivert from Ajax Amsterdam.

This is the second time Puel is saying this. Hmmmm.... Let's see if he remains at Leicester this January window. Hindsight is always beautiful. Had anyone foresaw that Shakes would be sacked and replaced by a Puel with his conservative stifling style of soccer with Nacho left out in the cold, then it would have been ultimate wisdom for anyone to say Nacho should remain at City and take his chances now that Gabby Jesus is out leaving just Aguero in the centre even though Sterling could feature as a false 9 too or Pep could have two dynamic Wfs upfront in a 3-5-2 (or a WF plus Aguero). Either sides of hindsight, Nacho needs enough playing time and he needs it now. Outside of the midlands or within. This is a World cup year. If our team was like the French national team where Euros 2016 hero, Payet is no longer a household feature in the side then Nacho would have been history for a while in the Super Eagles, honestly, but the truth is, in our case, we don't have that much luxury For now in those attacking positions like the French in terms of truly exceptional talents stepping in when one of them hits a rough patch or encounters even the slightest drop in form. He is still one of our best bets going to the World cup. And that is exactly why we need him playing. IHEANACHO 'NEEDS TO IMPROVE ASPECTS OF HIS PLAY' - LEICESTER CITY'S CLAUDE PUEL The Nigeria international has been restricted to few outings since his record move to the King Power Stadium outfit Kelechi Iheanacho 'needs to improve aspects of his play' to get a chance to feature prominently in Leicester City's attack, according to Claude Puel. The Foxes parted with a club record £25 million to secure the services of the highly-rated youngster from Manchester City. But the Super Eagle has found opportunities hard to come by, featuring in only 12 games this season. On Saturday, in Leicester's goalless stalemate to Fleetwood Town, despite an injury to first choice Jamie Vardy, the 21-year-old was again overlooked in favour of Islam Slimani whom he replaced with ten minutes left. And while analysing the state of his current strikers, the Frenchman admitted that Iheancho - who is below Vardy, Okazaki and now, Slimani - must sit up. “Slimani played well in the last game,” Puel said. “It was a possibility for him to have another game or so, because he hasn’t played a lot, because of the injury to Jamie. “It was a chance to see him again. “We don’t have a lot of opportunities for all the players, like Ahmed Musa. It is just a choice. “I think Kelechi is a young player and he needs to improve aspects of his play. “Also it is difficult because he is a player behind Jamie Vardy and it means he doesn’t get many opportunities. “Shinji Okazaki is also playing well, so it is difficult for him. “He works hard on the pitch and in the training sessions and he needs to continue. “I hope he can have some game time in the future," he concluded.

United States Take First Step To Beat Nigeria To Best Defender In MLS Published: January 08, 2018 United States Take First Step To Beat Nigeria To Best Defender In MLSThe United States Soccer Federation has taken the first step to beat the Nigerian Federation to the international future of the highly-rated Sporting Kansas defender Ike Opara. Acting United Men’s National Team head coach Dave Sarachan has invited Opara and 29 players for the USA’s annual January Camp scheduled to take place at the National Training Center in Carson, California. Born in Durham, North Carolina, Opara has represented the United States U20 and U23 national teams in the past but was never invited to the senior team until now. The national team coaches have looked his way after he won the MLS Defender of the Year with Sporting KC in 2017. The 28-year-old made USA's roster for the 2009 Fifa U20 World Cup, where he featured in matches against Germany, Cameroon and Korea Republic. Should Opara make his senior international debut for the Americans against Bosnia and Herzegovina on January 28, he will still be eligible to play for Nigeria until he plays a competitive game for the country of his birth. The immensely talented center back was named to Major League Soccer's Team of the Season for 2017. Igho Kingsley Photo Credit : sportingkc.com --ANS |

komekn: I don't think a move to the EPL is necessarily right for everyone. It's an excellent league, it has the most diversity and much better quality than many other leagues but I don't think it's the best league for everyone. Imo, its easy to get 'lost' there. I don't have anything against the championship either but I feel he will get more exposure in Benfica. They are a top table side in the Portuguese league and he will get the opportunity to play in UCL which (imo) will give him the opportunity to face different teams, learn new things and ultimately improve. If he does well enough, he may get the opportunity to move to a better league. Of course I believe that the most important thing is playing time so as long as he is not warming bench I would prefer a move to Benfica. 2 Likes 1 Share |

SUPER SEVEN: Home Eagles Stars To Watch Out For At 2018 CHAN Completesportsnigeria. com’s ADEBOYE AMOSU picks seven players who are expected to play big roles for the home-based Super Eagles at the African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Morocco starting at the weekend… ANTHONY OKPOTU All eyes will be on the Lobi Stars striker to deliver the goods for the Home Eagles in Morocco. Okpotu demonstrated his predatory instincts with two superb goals in the final of the Nigeria Professional Football League invitational tournament against MFM FC. ‘The Panther’ as the experienced forward is called by his admirers scored 19 goals for Lobi Stars to emerge top scorer in the NPFL last season. IKECHUKWU EZENWA The team’s first choice goalkeeper demonstrated his importance to the team with a crucial penalty kick save in the qualifier against Benin Republic. The Enyimba goalie who is also the team’s captain has a big chance to prove he is good enough to man the post for the main Super Eagles side at the World Cup in Russia. KALU ORJI One of the four members of the current team that were part of the Home Eagles side that took part at the last edition in Rwanda 2016. The experienced centre-back barring any unforseen circumstances is assured of a place in the starting eleven and much will be expected of him to keep the defence tight. RABIU ALI Rabiu Ali is the only surviving member of the home-based Super Eagles team that came third on their debut appearance in the competition four years ago in South Africa. ‘Pele’ shone in the qualifiers and the WAFU Nations Cup in Ghana last year where he was picked in the team of the tournament. Much will be expected from the Kano Pillars star who will anchor the team’s midfield. IFEANYI IFEANYI A consistent performer for the team all through qualifiers and the WAFU Nations Cup. He has a perfect understanding with Rabiu Ali. How well the two midfielders perform at the competition may determine how far the team will go in the competition. SUNDAY FALEYE The young forward distinguished himself during the NPFL invitational tournament in Kano. The forward, a product of Nigeria Nationwide League two outfit Freestan FC, is well respected among his teammates due to his dribbling ability. The competition provides a big opportunity for him to show is class and quality on a bigger stage. OSAS OKORO The versatile right-back who can also play as winger. One of the most experienced members of the team. He was also part of the team to Rwanda 2016.

Hmmm... People like wahala for this world I swear. See as dem de square up against each other on top things wey no CHANGE anything. Everybody come de take fight partner. Abeg who am I slugging it out with? na my own turn now. On a more serious note, we need to outgrow some excessive behaviours that only leads to unwanted agitations. Such behaviours (either online or offline) only fill one with hatred which in one way or the other will have effect on our general performance and productivity in life. The only time and place where one's punching ability makes one superior is in the RING every other place else will only render one stupid and foolish.
