Nigerian striker Peter Olayinka has ended speculation about his future after penning a four-year contract with SK Slavia Prague, the Czech First League club announced via their official website on Saturday.

Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that Gent will pocket approximately 3.5 million euros plus bonuses for agreeing to terminate their agreement with Olayinka before its expiration.

Olayinka is returning to the Czech Republic capital after a previous stint with Dukla Prague, for whom he scored 7 goals in 32 appearances in all competitions.

Commenting on the transfer, Olayinka stated : ''I was very happy, when I learned about going to Slavia and returning to Prague, I was happy and it attracts me because Slavia is the top of Czech football.

''When I was in Dukla, Slavia became the champion of the league. I can imagine that Slavia will once again be a champion and I want to be like that. It's a great chance for me. Slavia is a club where I can become a champion.''

Olayinka began his career with 36 Lion before moving to Bylis Ballsh in Albania, and also counts Yenicami SK and Skënderbeu amongst his former employers.

For the upcoming season, he will play with the number nine jersey at Slavia Prague.

The deal taking Olayinka to Slavia Prague was brokered by respected French agent Cedric Mazet.

Goals For Isaac Success, Josh Maja, Ify Ofoegbu & Okenabirhie In Pre-Season GamesCatch up on the Nigerian players who found the back of the net for their respective European clubs in pre-season games on Saturday 21st July.

At the Montgomery Waters Meadow, Shrewsbury Town new signing, Fejiri Okenabirhie was yet again on the score-sheet for The Blues in a 3-2 loss to Brentford.

The former Arsenal youth teamer made the most of a lofted pass into the area to smash home his chance in the top left corner of the goal, bringing the score to 1-1 after they had initially fell behind.

Elsewhere, 18-year old right-back, Ifeanyi Ofoegbu got among the goals for Chesterfield in their 5-0 rout of Nuneaton at the Liberty Way Stadium.

The defender who was picked out in the box by teammate, Joe Rowley with 15 minutes left finished with aplomb, rattling into the roof of the net to make it 4-0.

In another pre-season encounter, goals from Super Eagles striker, Isaac Success, Troy Deeney and Jerome Sinclair gave Premier League side, Watford a 3-1 victory over German club, Fortuna Düsseldorf in Bürgerau.

The Nigerian tapped home the opener for The Hornets after getting onto the end of an Andre Gray's pass at the far post.

And finally, Joshua Maja netted a brace for Sunderland in a 6-0 rout of Scottish opponents, St Mirren at Paisley.

The teenager opened the scoring after 22 minutes, sending a well-cushioned finish in thanks to a pass from Chris Maguire before leaving Mirren goalkeeper, Craig Samson rooted to the spot when he arrowed in a 22-yard effort for his second.

i honestly did not expect our players to move. They have barely established themselves in their clubs, some have had good seasons that deserve a second shot, why destabilize themselves to make big money moves that will eventually cause their careers to deteriorate? I would rather our players sit tight in their clubs than gallivanting Europe in the name of big money moves.

Nigeria u15 won 5-0 today but look at the fake jersey they are wearing

edi287:

Heard we're in for Draxler. Dumb move considering there's Lacazette and Aubamayeng to fit in the starting 11.
Should be looking to sign a better CB. Club is driving me nuts I tell you

Icon4s:


You no hear say even the Flying Eagles went to shop for their jerseys at the Wuse Market?

tbaba1234:


With the NFF crisis, i do not expect anything to work as usual.

goldfish80:

It's a shame no Nigerian player will make a $20M move this transfer window.
We simply don't have the materials at this moment. The fans must wake up and smell the coffee.
We are painfully below average.

goldfish80:


The club is going all silicon Valley. I heard they signed a candy crush engineer. Lol
But seriously, you guys could be in for an interesting ride this season especially with the back room hires. Almost world class set up if you ask me.
By the way what do you think of Richarlson's transfer to Everton? I heard Everton paid £50M for him. Watford must be laughing all the way to the bank.. Lol

tbaba1234:


Lazio is rumored to be interested in Iwobi for 20-25 Million Euros..

edi287:

Funny thing is Gazidis is linked with a move to Milan and according to rumors is seriously considering it.
It'd be crazy if after waiting for Wenger to leave and making all these changes that he'd leave all that.
Everton are just spunking out money foolishly..they would've gotten Guedes for that amount. Heard they're linked with a 22m move for Digne.
They need a proper director of football

goldfish80:


Lol.. They made a bunkers decision sacking Steve Walsh who was the DOF at Leicester city when they won the league. The Dutch guy they hired is totally out of his depth. £50M for Richarlson? Lol

BascoVanVeli:


Sentiments don commot. So you dey vex for national cap? The boy didn't invite himself na.

Grammar won't save you from being completely off base in this argument. We should use a full season that a player was injured to judge the player? That is utterly ridiculous, forget what football says this is common sense if a player is injured for a full season then that season doesn't count.

If you call Wolfsburg lowly then what was burnley last season? How many U21 players did you see get 1 minute in the bottom half of the premier table? You are turning a blind eye on reality just to attack this boy maybe to suggest a league one player in his place.

The measurement you are talking about has worked just fine for other Nigerian players going into Europe. You told me no 29 year old would be on a bench and I gave you players within that age range that control the bench so what's the problem? I can also find at least one U21 player in each team that are waiting on their chance.

Highly rated Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen will begin trials with Belgium side Zulte-Waregem in view of securing a deal to join them on loan from German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.

Already Zulte-Waregem have secured an agreement with Wolfsburg to have him on a season long loan with the option to buy him permanently next summer, if he impresses during his trial period.

He is expected to spend one week at the club according to reports exclusively gathered by Owngoalnigeria.com editorial team and a decision is expected to be made on or after the specified period.

Osimhen will take part in test games and also training drills while at the club as he bid to bring an unhappy two year spell at Wolfsburg to an end, no thanks to the unstable managerial situation of the club.

Since joining Wolfsburg, the 20 year old has worked under six coaches with Wolfsburg struggling to beat the drop to the second division in the seasons he has been at the club following his exploits for Nigeria at the World Youth Championship in 2015.

Now if u wanna know why other West African leagues have been exporting quality players to Europe compared to the NPFL, watch this match btwn Enyimba and Williamsville of ivory coast. 90percent of the Ivorians look under 20 while almost all the Enyimba players look way beyond their 30s bar Ikouwem Utin Udoh . This match is a match btwn old men and teens. These Williamsville players look like Academy players, they even look younger than Paul Aigbogun's under 20 boys.

Icon4s:


Worst still they took the game to a poor quality Agege pitch that got flooded.

The same flooded pitch condition that the Amuneke's "academy" Flying Eagles found themselves in, same stage last qualifiers. But thank God Paul's boys are already used to playing rain ball on our NPFL pitches. Hahaha...

Icon4s:



Poor run of form for Isaac Success is one of the reasons we went to Russia without a striker.


That boy should be tearing nets by now.

edi287:

Last season was even worse. I think this TV money is making clubs go crazy.
Funny enough - it's crazy how Iwobi is only being rated at 20 - 25m.
I remember having an argument with someone (BascoVanVeli I think) who said Iwobi wouldn't leave for less than 50m.
Iwobi > Richarlison any day of the week for me

Kog45:
No chief

The same Isaac Success had just 17 goals with almost 100 caps as a pro.

Sir,i think you are still rating this guy based on his U17 performance.

TheGoodJoe:
Stat on Richarlison.

Crucially, his work rate is comparable to Firmino’s: of forwards to play regularly (15+ games) in the Premier League this season, only him (2.1) and Swansea’s Jordan Ayew (2.5) have averaged more successful tackles per 90 minutes than Richarlison (two)

TheGoodJoe:


I totally disagree. Richarlison is ahead of Iwobi in a long way. His off the ball work is insane and certainly one of the most hardworking players in the EPL.

goldfish80:

This is a great stat. He defends from the front, that's why he worth every penny. Jordan Ayew should be worth £80 at least.

komekn:


I am making a comment because I have gone into long talk with BascoVanVeli about Victor.

Belguim league is rated almost on par with the Turkish league by UEFA. He should be going on loan to the Bundesliga 2, then fight his way up. Indeed if he was rated thier should be clubs in a queue waiting to get him on loan.

I have never seen where a highly rated striker goes on trial. Who is rating him as highly rated. Then to the Belgium league from Bundesliga. Do I need to say anything more. About this highly rated tag. ❓

edi287:

Iwobi is much better on the ball and has better decision making, better technique, better vision. Agree with you on his off the ball movement
