Who played 90 mins? Ademola Lukman

Ol' boy, you must be watching a different game. Lukman came in the second half, with about 10 mins or so to go. He contributed to Spurs 1st goal but didn't do much for the balance of the game.

I don't trust that so much. Looking at Simon Moses it is clear to see that there was a stagnation in his club career and to make matters worse his club was doing shakara to sell him, claiming he would be the record transfer from Belgium. I think if a Valencia calls he should give them a listen

A season in Belgium is enough for Osimhen to ditch both Wolfsburg and Chaleroi as Dude already has many eyes on him. Clubs from the Le championat are already circling. If he maintains this tempo and get lucky with injuries, then I dont see him staying in Belgium past the winter. His talent has never been in doubt, injuries has always been his bane.

The first choice goalkeeper of the senior national team of Nigeria Francis Odinaka Uzoho has been nominated for the award of the best player in the Spanish second division after the latest round of games.

Everyone Can Win On Sports Betting With This Little Trick
Uzoho was handed his first start by the coach of Elche since his summer move from Deportivo La Coruna on loan and the 19 year old didn’t disappoint with a strong showing as his club run out 2-0 winners over Malaga.

During the game he made five key saves, one punched and hit an astonishing 15 correct passes out of 25 attempted during the game and he was deservedly named the man of the match.

His performance hasn’t gone unnoticed by the governing body of the league as he has been nominated for the player of the week award alongside four others.

Etebo Joins Onyekuru, Shehu, Obi In Super Eagles Injury Club Ahead Of AFCONQ Vs South Africa
Published: October 23, 2018



Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Oghenekaro Etebo will not be available for selection when Stoke City face Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in the EFL Championship on Tuesday, October 23.

The Potters number eight started as a holding midfielder along with Leicester City's Wilfred Ndidi in the two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Libya in Uyo and Sfax.

Medical tests carried out after he returned to the United Kingdom last week revealed that he suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty.

Etebo does not want to rush himself back from the injury and has been undergoing light training.

He joins the queue for the Super Eagles treatment room behind Chievo Verona's Joel Obi, Bursaspor's Abdullahi Shehu and Galatasaray's Henry Onyekuru ahead of next month's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa.

Obi has not played for The Flying Donkeys for a month due to a knee discomfort, Shehu suffered a muscle contraption in the quadriceps on his right leg which led to his substitution after 18 minutes against Libya in Uyo while Onyekuru faces at least one month on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring injury.

Meanwhile, it is not all bad news as Trabzonspor's Eddy Onazi was cleared to suit up for the Turkish club in yesterday's game against Erzurumspor after pulling out of the Nigeria squad for the games against the Mediterranean Knights.

In addition, Chelsea loanee Kenneth Omeruo is expected to fully recover before CD Leganes upcoming La Liga match against Levante.

Arsenal star Alex Iwobi credits Mesut Ozil and Unai Emery with his improvement this season

[img]https://metrouk2.files./2018/10/gettyimages-1052762620.jpg[/img]

Alex Iwobi revealed the role Mesut Ozil and Unai Emery have played in helping him produce his best football for Arsenal in his career. The 22-year-old has always shown glimpses of his potential under Arsene Wenger, but has managed to reach new heights with Emery as his coach this season. Iwobi picked up the man-of-the-match award in Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Leicester City on Monday, ahead of goalscorers Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Ozil captained Arsenal against Leicester and inspired the comeback victory with a superb finish, and Iwobi hailed the forward for his help on the training pitch. ‘I have been training with him since I was 17 and I have seen what he can do,’ Iwobi said. ‘The quality he has is not just in training but as you can see in the match last night, he is a world-class player and he proved that again.

‘Mesut will come across as laid back but he is helping everyone in a different way and he helps me a lot. ‘He gives me advice in a different way: he jokes around but always tell me I can do more – even [against Leicester] he was saying I can do more, he is always one of those guys. ‘But he is always happy, always telling me and giving me the confidence to express myself so it helps me.’ Emery took over from Wenger at Arsenal

The win over Leicester was Arsenal’s tenth victory in a row, as the Gunners have gone from strength to strength under Emery’s guidance. Arsenal fans are even hopeful their side could launch a title tilt, and Iwobi revealed how Emery has helped him improve this season. ‘For me, he has just given me confidence to express myself, to believe in my ability which I have been trying to show and basically also in training he is always letting me try new things, be positive, be direct and prove it in the game,’ Iwobi said.

‘It is working for me so I just have to keep it going. I am more confident, I feel that even if I make a mistake I am able to go again. I think that is the difference between me last year and this year.’

Arsenal are now level on points with Chelsea and remain just two points behind league leaders Manchester City and Liverpool.

is this report real?


A shock name that could make the Super Eagles list for the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers in November against South Africa is on loan Liverpool forward Seyi Ojo, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively report.


Ojo is presently out on loan to French Ligue 1 side Reims where he has made seven appearances in Ligue 1 for the modest side following his loan move in the summer from Liverpool, where he was also farmed out on loan last season to Fulham.

21 year old Ojo openly confessed his readiness to dump England where he made 43 appearances for the various youth ranks of England from U16 to U21 if he gets called up to the senior national team of Nigeria by coach Gernot Rohr.

Rohr is keen on having a left footed winger in the Super Eagles hence he is open to the idea of seeing Ojo at close quarters in training with the Super Eagles ahead of their next competitive fixture against South Africa.

His switch will however require international clearance due to the games he has played for England and as at the time of filing in this report, we couldn’t ascertain if the process has been initiated by the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) .

actually I think there is a disadvantage or so, can you believe that a supervisor in lekki, at elegushi, refuse to give me a job even after his boss had OK it? all cos am from AJ and what pains me is he said I will steal and run away even going as far as complaining abt transport,

I can relate to what u are saying. How u overcome such is to use an address that is not Ajegunle. U can make use any relative's address that is in a more respected area. My Dad worked at Lagos Island then and so I used his work address.

I know cases of prospective bankers then that could not get the Job because they stayed in Ajegunle and do not have any rich family members that could deposit huge money in the banks.

It is crazy out there bro. But there is always a way out.

This is a fabricated news.

The NFF target is to seal our AFCON qualification at the FNB stadium in SA, then use the Seychelles match in Uyo to test/cap interested, good players. As much as I love Ejaria, Ebere, Ademola, Billing, Ojo, Chima et al, I still think the SA match came too soon and the best platform to weigh them up should be against oppositions like Seychelles, friendlies and inconsequential qualifiers. So bro, disregard this news and wait till the Seychelles match, if we get a win or draw in SA oo.

The NFF might want to cut cost by inviting a majority of homebased players to execute the inconsequential game against Seychelles. The game is by March next year when the league must have resumed.

So, I'm not expecting to See that much foreign based players getting invited.

Yes, a fair number of home based players are expected to be involved but I am of the opinion that only those who are within the U23 and U20 age brackets should be involved. Cos those are the ones that would be useful for our football going forward.

Fifa set to revive controversial plans for new Club World Cup and Nations League



By Richard ConwayBBC sports news correspondent

BBC Sport




Fifa is set to revive controversial plans for a new Club World Cup and Nations League, that had previously been backed by Saudi Arabian cash.

It comes after Saudi Arabia admitted journalist Jamal Khashoggi died in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Reports

suggest the Club World Cup would be held annually and involve the top European and Premier League teams.

Uefa is against the plans, which will be raised when Fifa's ruling council meets in Rwanda on Thursday and Friday.

Earlier this year, a consortium lead by Japan's SoftBank, and backed by Saudi cash, wanted to invest $25bn over 12 years in the two competitions.

It's unclear if the new proposals have the same financial backing.

Opposition to the plans from Fifa Council members - including Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin - resulted in talks being suspended shortly before the start of the World Cup in June.

The revised format for the Club World Cup was outlined in May and would see the contest held every four years. It's believed 12 top European teams would be among the global participants. Manchester United and Liverpool are thought to be amongst the sides that Fifa wants to see take part in the inaugural competition in 2021.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino is likely to face questions at the meeting over his relationship with Saudi's Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, in light of the country's recent admission over Khashoggi.

Infantino has met senior Saudi officials four times in the past year - including one trip to open the Saudi Football Association's new website.

Why is Uefa against the plans?

It is arguable that the Club World Cup does need re-evaluating.

The tournament is currently played every December and features the winner of each of the six continental confederations.

While it is taken seriously by South American clubs, interest levels in Europe are minimal.

But Infantino's plan for a 24-team tournament - either played annually or every four years and replacing the Confederations Cup - will be seen as a direct threat to the pre-eminent position of the Uefa Champions League.

Uefa strongly resisted the plan earlier this year and will do so again this week.

A global Nations League - similar to Uefa's new format - is also controversial given Fifa's plan for outside investment.

A showdown in Rwanda is looming with the future direction of elite club and international football on the line.
