Ten players of Nigerian descent have been invited to England's national teams for international matches in October 2019. Chelsea duo Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori would be barred from representing the Super Eagles if they get playing time in any of the two European Championship qualifiers against Czech Republic (Oct 11) and Bulgaria (Oct 14). England U19 head coach Paul Simpson has included Chelsea midfielder Faustino Anjorin, Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka and West Ham loanee Ajibola Alese on his roster for the International Marbella Cup holding in Spain. The Young Lions will face France and Belgium on October 9 and October 12 respectively as part of their preparations for November's U19 EURO first qualifying round.

Sheffield United could have signed Real Madrid conqueror Emmanuel Dennis this summer for £13.3m. Belgian publication Het Laatste Nieuws reports that the Blades made a £8.9m offer for the Club Brugge striker. Yet this fell just short of their valuation. Monaco were also understood to be interested in Dennis, but in the end the 21-year-old remained in Belgium. The Nigeria international made headlines across Europe this week after scoring twice at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League. 2 Likes |

charlesemeka85: See the amount wey dem wan buy am, dennis should cost nothing less than 20million pounds, he can play as a winger and a striker, dennis has even played as a wing back Wesley moraes was sold for 22 million pounds and he is only a centre forward, he doest even have a better goal ration than dennis who hardly play as a striker, forget the madrid game, if okereke was available i doubt dennis will play as a striker, and mbaye diagne was benched for 90 minutes 2 Likes |

charlesemeka85: Danjuma has been injured, he has only played one game this season in the epl, but trust me danjuma is better than most player in the dutch squad and if he does well in the epl he will get more call up, trust me, the netherlands do call players from small teams so forget about the lowly rated belgium league Moise kean issa fan favorite in italy, if he does well at everton trust me he will get more call up, same was said about balotelli, if balotelli has been serious with his career he should have won about 80 caps for italy now and you know this, if you are good you are good The dutch will be angry for loosing ziyech, ziyech will easily make the dutch team without stress, morocco has lost many players to the Netherlands, i cant even name them |

charlesemeka85: I don't know how a young man in this age will still be thinking in such awkward and parochial fashion..... everyone cannot be on same page...some Nigerians talk more on foreign born players here because they live abroad or because they tend to have knowledge of such players more... and some like Basco talk on local groomed players because that's their area of speciality but should be maximized to our advantage. like you used before most Nigerians are so damn proud..... and unable to think both ways. 1 Like |

edi287: They did, buh the guy chose Euro U21 tourney with England, instead. He was never interested in playing for Nigeria, in fact, if he had failed with his English dreams, his next stop would av been Canada not Nigeria. So folks in here should stop crying. In other news, here is something to cheer about; From the little I av gathered, Bukayo Saka is excited with the prospect of playing for Nigeria bkus he, just like his father, is a die hard super eagles fan. He grew up watching more Nigerian games at home than England games. His father brought him up purely the Nigerian way, hence he doesn't consider himself English, but Nigerian. In fact, his paper work would be through same time as Ademola's. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Christophe Galtier the coach of Lille is worried that his team is getting too relaxed because they feel they have an Osimhen. He fears his side are becoming too reliant on the shoulders of a youngster who is fast becoming their talisman. Following the weekend’s draw with Nice, he grumbled: “We were too gentle offensively. We’ve not played to win. It’s as if the players are resting on Victor.” Did u know this boy had no preseason, neither with Lille nor with Charleroi, and he didn't even play up to 50mins throughout his stay with the Eagles in the Afcon? 7 Likes

For me,to say that someone is not a Nigerian because he/she was born and raised abroad is nonsensical and also a myopic view. I think parents has a big role to play in shaping the mindsets of these young chaps by imbibing their culture in them early enough. I believe that a kid brought up in foreign land with a grounded knowledge about his/ her roots will always associate himself/herself with their country of origin(not necessarily represent them). Take Antony Joshua as an example. I have also seen kids that were raised abroad speak their native language perfectly. As for not having alot of young homegrown lads coming through the ranks when we have talented kids littered in the country, the NFF and underaged coaches are to blame for that. They are too lazy to scout for talents hence they resort to a quick fix by allowing overaged players fill those slots. The sports sector is not different from other sectors where bribery, diversion of funds and all sorts of corruption are noticed in a shameful and alarming way. My point is,I dont blame anybody for choosing not to represent Nigeria,it is their choice which has to be respected. Some will also prefer to represent us regardless. For me everyone is needed as far as the talent is there regardless of where the individual is raised. The team benefits from it as there will be healthy competition amongst players. 2 Likes |
