Rohr Eyes Ighalo, Lookman’s Partnership

By Segun Ogunjimi, Abuja Last updated Oct 19, 2018

Super Eagles’ Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr has told SportingLife.ng that he would love to have Everton striker Ademola Lookman who is on loan to RB Leipzig of Germany to form a deadly partnership with Eagles’ top striker Odion Ighalo if player shows quick interest in joining the Nigeria national football team.

Rohr who also revealed that he is still hungry to have the best Eagles squad that can stand the test of time said that even if Lookman eventually joins the team he must prove to be better that players already playing in his position before he joined.

The Eagles’ handler said that in as much as the player is on his list he must show enough interest interest in playing for his fatherland since he has already played for the Under 19 to 21 of his adopted country England.

“(Ademola) Lookman is on our list. He is a good player and very fast too. I would be happy if he can show enough interest to join the Eagles because we will have many options in the attack of the team. He would be exciting playing alongside Ighalo.

” I am aware that the NFF is working out something but you know that Lookman has played for England’s U-19, U-20 and U-20. So there are processes to be done to make him eligible to play for us (Eagles). Lookman also has to decide on time because the NFF has to process his authorization from FIFA. He must also prove that he is better than the players already in the team”, Rohr disclosed.

The General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation Dr. Sanusi Muhammed however confirmed to SportingLife.ng that the Federation is working on how to bring the player to the Eagles but has not gone far on the issue.

“We are still looking at the modalities. We will discuss with the Coach (Rohr) to know what to do next. We have not gone far on the issue”, Sanusi disclosed.

By Tunde Liadi Last updated Oct 18, 2018

Super Eagles midfielder, Oghenekaro Etebo has revealed that he turned down transfer requests from clubs in the German Bundesliga and the English Premier League before settling for Championship side, Stoke City.

The former Warri Wolves player signed for Stoke before the start of the Russia 2018 World Cup and the midfielder told SportingLife.ng that he felt it was the best decision for him to sign up with Stoke who were relegated from the EPL last season.

He said if he was told to review his decision and delay it until after the World Cup he would still have made a similar choice and that he is enjoying his time with Stoke City and he is looking forward to helping the club return to the EPL at the end of the current season.

“It was a decision I made in the best interest of my career and I still feel if I am told to make the decision again after the World Cup I would have done the same thing,” Etebo told SportingLife.ng.

Maybe they don't want to reveal much. Coded.

Curtisaxel7:


Or Semi Ajayi, if we want to go a bit experimental. There's still Igbekeme and Onomah waiting in the wings

But you sabi Baba Onigbinde....

I have watched Tega Onomah since he was about 15 at Tottenham live and in training.

Currently, I would say he is the best option for midfield rate him much more than Ebere Eze, Ovie Ejaria, Philip Billing in terms of end product he has the capacity to fill the boots of Mikel Obi but not just on the creative side but defensive. He is a proper box to box midfielder and he is rugged.

Getting him now will not be problematic waiting till he blows will be.

Good to see Uzoho back in action for his club. His performance last night will certainly get him more game time now... I hope our other bench warming defenders get game time at their clubs before we face SA...No room should b left for mistake oo .

Lol this is a joke of a claim. Only the gullible will buy this. Someone offered u a Benz but u chose a Bicycle instead? Ogbeni make we hear word. Dis poo right here is a very big lie

Not exactly.

It depends on what you are offered and how much value is placed on you by the club.

So you would look at Opportunity to progress, playing time and position with in relation to development.

Then add relationship with the manager then finally the money and length of contract.

There are Championship clubs that may you more £££ and with great ambition to get to the EPL. Wolves is a strange but classic example.

It's better to sometimes be somewhere you are valued and getting playing time. Than rotting away in an EPL club without playing time.

As you see its not so simplistic as you may think.

So the idea of a BIG LIE is not proven and it is not an act of gullibility to believe it.

Nobody, I repeat nobody would reject a chance at a league to move to a lower league because of playing chance

He may move to a lower club in the same league but not to a lower league

And Etebo is not in his early twenties to say that he still has years of improvement to move to a higher league

I repeat Etebo is a clown

ChrisKels:

Put Stoke city in that some. Nobody knows who will get promoted so u can't blame him that much for that because on paper they should be competing.
