Nigeria's Most Promising Talent Puts On A Show In Gent Win Published: March 11, 2018 Nigerian winger Samuel Kalu inspired Gent to a 2-1 defeat of Genk FC in the Belgian First Division on Sunday afternoon, scoring once and laying on another the Buffaloes. The 20-year old put through teammate, Birger Verstraete for his side's opening goal after 11 minutes with a precise cross. He would then beat the hosts goalkeeper, Danny Vukovic with a right footed effort of his own which he powered into the top right corner from the center of the box. The goal was his sixth in the topflight this season and his performance was consummate enough to push Gent who are placed fourth on the division standings six points clear of their opponents in fifth. Also in action at the Luminus Arena were Nigerian internationals Moses Simon and Anderson Esiti both of who went the distance in the encounter while Kalu who is in line for the MOTM accolade came off for Anders Christiansen eight minutes from time. Last month, Samuel Kalu was named among the top fifty most promising prospects in Europe by CIES Football Observatory, the only player of Nigerian descent that made the prestigious list. 1 Like |

Humility017: Most of our best performing players past and present have one time or another played in England, so you think Komekn is without justification in implying that till date our best legs are in the EPL? Not that I support Komekn's constant appraisal of the EPL, but only when we have a higher ratio of players in other leagues compared to those from the EPL, can I rightly stand against Komekn. What has the musical artists I mentioned got to do with all of these? well we've dragged in the English press, government and their lifestyle into discussions in the past, why not talk about music when holistically, it's seen here everything English is mediocre. Oh, and I forgot to mention a certain Jacob Banks, another young English chap (naija born) whose music is gaining global recognition. 3 Likes |

junnyjake: you're just beating round the Bush..... just feel free to state your view...rather than clingin to the blame game...accusing folks of berating the epl and England... I don't understand why some of us here are not straightforward. no one is sayn that our best legs are not in England...but our best legs are not solely restricted or living only in England... just same way you can view the sun from any spot....likewise our best players are litered in Europe.... you guys need to break loose from that parochial mindset......and begin to view thing holistically. the best legs can be majorly in England....elsewhere we have them too. as regard music....common sense should teach us... that we are concerned wit music...made in English language because it's official language.... same way a nation like Senegal will priortize the French songs over any in other languages.... moreover...those musicians you mentioned I dont even know them...because i play only gospel songs...and they are mainly from the USA, Nigeria and Australia..... so it is relative... 2 Likes |

After today's match, Samuel Kalu's stat so far with Gent; "He has been directly involved in 26 goals (10 goals, 16 assists) in 46 appearances since his move to Gent." This guy is an assist king. Badass winger Moses Simon's fan boys won't like this ![]() 4 Likes |

ChrisKels: Wolvehampton coach Nuno Espirto Santo wasn't the man that gave Awaziem his break at Porto, rather it was Jose Peseiro who gave Awaziem his break but Nuno Espirito Santo sent Awaziem back to Fc Porto B for the whole of 2016 / 2017 season. Awaziem should remain in Nantes for at least one more season. 1 Like |

cc12: U r absolutely correct. I mistook Peseiro for Nuno. Espirito was actually the guy that demoted him to the B-team at Porto, now he wants him to play under him at Wolverhampton. That shows Awaziem has really put in a lot of work to be where he is today. Keep soaring my boy but plz shun England. Remain with Ranieri and his high flying Nantes team. 1 Like 2 Shares |

‘You’re a beast in the air’, teammates tells Iheanacho Leicester City’s Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho scores his team’s third goal during the English Premier League football match between West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City at The Hawthorns stadium in West Bromwich, central England, on March 10, 2018.Lindsey PARNABY / AFP Chrisrian Fuchs and Wilfred Ndidi applauded Kelechi Iheanacho for his impressive outing against West Bromwich Albion in one of yesterday’s English Premier League fixtures, played at The Hawthorns Stadium in West Bromwich, central England. The Nigeria international replaced Shinji Okazaki in the encounter and gave a good account getting an assist plus a goal as the Foxes triumphed 4-1 at the Hawthorns. Significantly, Iheanacho’s 76th-minute header was his first English Premier League strike after two years. And that has attracted his teammates’ applause on social media.“Happy for my man Kelechi for his performance and a great goal. You’re a beast in the air. Great result today for us,” Fuchs tweeted. In the same vein, Ndidi who was on parade for the entire duration with 76 touches, five tackles and 58 total passes also commended his compatriot.“Back to winning ways and congrats to my guy on his goal and assist. Thanks to the fans for their great support,” he wrote on his Twitter handle. The win takes Claude Puel’s men to the eighth position with 40 points from 30 games. They welcome Arsenal to King Power Stadium in their next outing. http://guardian.ng/sport/youre-a-beast-in-the-air-teammates-tells-iheanacho/?F 3 Likes

junnyjake: No sir, it is you that is missing the point. At this stage, you should know that too much emphasis on a thing makes it loses its value... A statement of fact the likes of Komekn and forgiveness don't realize. The way these two dwell and emphasize on players from England, at a point, makes it nauseating. They sound as if football doesn't exist outside of England or at most the top 5 leagues in Europe. If FIFA took football this way, the game wouldn't have spreadth throughout over the 190 nations of the world. The love of the game is everywhere and before you can be called an analyst, you should have a full grasp of players in other countries. But Nope, sir Komekn and forgiveness wouldn't do that, rather to them, only English bred players are the best thing since slice bread.... Forgetting that the way football as a team game is structured,... Unlike individual sports and some team sports like basketball;... On a given day any team consisting of 11 players can defeat another team. That is why a Malawi can defeat a Belgium and A Cameroon can defeat Spain because despite all our predictions, it always boils down to who wants it more on the pitch. If these two "innit" are as sensible and knowledgeable in football matters as they claim, they would have known this simple theory. State your points and move along, don't berate other leagues while doing so. Because when you do, we take it as an offense and an insult to our football intelligence because we know and see football and i daresay Excellent quality football being played daily both within Nigeria and other parts of the world. Honestly, a live and lets live lifestyle isn't that difficult to put on. |

Mujtahida:Justice to the truth?for saying some foreign coaches too were culpable of the same thing.Sir apart from Emenalo,pls check out Uche Okafor stats before France 98 and tell me the difference between him and Gabriel. Pls did i compared,may be you should go back to the comment that drew my attention or do you think am happy with Keshi's selection?NO My point is simple, there is no basis for comparing the local and foreign cos the later is far better,truly Keshi messed up with Gabriel but we have seen some foreign ones who messed up on some players.YES or NO Did i try to make excuse for Gabriel inclusion? NO but some are ready to justify the inclusion of division four players cos foreign coach know what he is doing abi and they are ready to give excuse for Uche Okafor selection at France 98. I think bringing up negativism of local coaches to rate foreign ones just damn too much here,am a Nigerian and no matter what i don't ridicule my country men but doesn't mean i rate them higher than foreign one but some see nothing good in their fellow countrymen which i dislike. Sir Nigeria came into world football map in 1985 and till today we are still reaping that success cos it led to a rapid growth of Nigeria football and kudos to coaches like Sebastien Broderick, Willy Bazuaye,Chris Udemezue,Alabi Aisien,Paul Halmiton,James Peters,Jossy Lad,Joe Erico,Kafaru Alabi,Kadri Ikhana,Moses Otolorin,Kashimawo Laloko,Adegboyega Onigbinde,Christian Chuckwu etc These coaches suffered for the development of football in Nigeria.If not for these people i don't think we would be here talking football. I rememberr local coach came into the rescue when foreign one almost marred our WC chances but how many times did you see guys referring to such but when it comes to $10k baseless allegations,agents stuff local coaches received the sticks,forgetting that the duo of Westerhoff and Bonfrere Jo brought this into our system. Yes Keshi fumbled on Reuben Gabriel and Bora fumbled on Uche Okafor. My man just my opinion 4 Likes 1 Share |

ChrisKels:Omo it's a very tricky one, but what assures me is that I'm confident in his abilities. He has had a excellent season In the French league, he has developed immensely and his abilities have shown to be on par with the leagues quality, staying will be more like being in his comfort zone. Nantes Do not have the competitive edge that a player of his talent needs to be exposed to at that top level. he might stay and develop under no pressure and it might all come good for his development it's works for some players. But if the coach who has demoted him wants him then he's impressed him. With wolves sure to be in the EPL next season it's looks like the perfect combo for me, yes he will have competition but that will only make him better, nothing beats playing regularly in the EPL intensity it would make him develop faster in my opinion, besides he hes a special talent and one that can play for any team in the world in few years. |
