'I Was Crazy For Him' - Lille Transfer Guru Campos Reveals How He Discovered Osimhen Published: October 08, 2019 'I Was Crazy For Him' - Lille Transfer Guru Campos Reveals How He Discovered Osimhen Lille sporting director Luis Campos has revealed that he was on the trail of Victor Osimhen for about four years before eventually signing the striker in the summer transfer window. Campos is widely regarded as one of the top transfer chiefs in the world and is credited with unearthing talents such as Kylian Mbappe, Nicolas Pepe, James Rodriguez, Anthony Martial, Fabinho, Bernardo Silva and Benjamin Mendy. Campos pointed out that Osimhen would have been a player of Lille after the 2015 U17 World Cup but they were priced out of a move. ''I went to Lagos (Niger) to see the U17 World Championships. After one match I wanted him. But his price was very expensive for a 17-year-old,'' Campos said to Sky Sports. ''I spoke to my CEO. I called him every night saying, 'Please give me this player, he is amazing. In two years he will be one of the best in Europe'. "In the end the player went to Wolfsburg. I went to Wolfsburg just to see him play. Sometimes he only played for five minutes, sometimes only two. I was crazy for him! ''Then he had a virus and had five or six months not playing and went to Charleroi in Belgium. Two months later I signed him. So itʼs a nice story. I lost the player but then got him back.'' Osimhen has made a blistering start to his career at Lille, scoring 8 goals in 11 appearances across all competitions, and Campos is tipping the Nigeria international to move to a bigger club next summer. The Portuguese added : ''If all is normal at the end of the season there will be a big move for him because he's like a cat. You know, if you have a cat and give it a ball! ''Heʼs unbelievable. In the last 20 metres he attacks every ball. Every ball. Like a cat''. Igho Kingsley Source: https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=33934 4 Likes 1 Share |

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Glasgow Rangers star Joe Aribo has ended speculation over his availability for Sunday's international friendly against Brazil. As at the time of writing this report, the versatile midfielder was at the airport waiting to board a flight to Singapore. About two weeks ago, Aribo had emerged as a doubt for the trip to Asia after he suffered a head injury in Rangers' 1-0 win over Livingston in the Scottish League Cup. The 23-year-old will be accompanied on the trip to Singapore by his childhood friend, CSKA Sofia's Viv Solomon-Otabor, who was handed a late call-up on Sunday as replacement for the injured Samuel Kalu. Aribo made a dream debut against Ukraine, scoring after three minutes as the Super Eagles were forced to a 2-2 draw by the European nation and will be aiming to impress manager Gernot Rohr on Sunday if he gets game time. Born in London, he remains eligible to represent England until he makes a competitive appearance for Nigeria, which could happen next month against Benin in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. 1 Like |

tbaba1234: We need to fix Nigeria. Performance in every sector is poor...from sports to health to education, etc. Even though we have to start with temporary solutions, we need to realize that no sector will develop independently of others and only "permanent" solutions will bring lasting change. Basic things like automatic birth capture, security at our stadia, stability in the NFF and Ministry of Sports, etc. will improve our football and attract funding from private sources (ticket sales, jersey sales, etc). After we sort that out we can begin to televise matches, look for sponsors, etc. With time enough money will flow in to address challenges like club academies, recruitment of quality coaches and backroom staff, etc. The thing is that all sectors must work together. It is the ministry of health that will ensure automatic birth capture and provide emergency services; it is our security forces that will ensure safety; it is our ministry of education that will ensure kids are in school so they are more visible to academies; long term, ministries of works, transport, power, etc. all have roles to play. However, many of these ministries can address some important issues in the short term while we work towards long term growth and stability. Our attitudes too must change. Bribe taking and arrogance need to go. Players should be invited on merit and bribe taking officials should not drive them away. We must also condemn what is wrong with one voice and encourage what is right at all times. It shouldn't be a case of I hate something untill my guy does it -then I start to excuse it. Lastly this Otabor call up is disappointing because we have players performing in better leagues. The NFF and Rohr must be open about whatever standards they want to apply when calling up players. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

DrLikita12: Where do you start with the Nigeria problem. Is there one sector in Nigeria that's not riddled with corruption incompetence and sharp practices. Just tell me one please. IMO until the people decide not accept mediocrity and corruption. It will continue. And those who stand to correct it will become victims of persecution e.g. Sowore. 4 Likes |

Joebie: I have seen Hoogewerf and he's fine, but the name is still off The foreign last names Nigeria born and bred bear are English names, while I don't care much for slave names, at least the slave names are familiar, perhaps, if we had Dutch colonizers, I would find English-named players odd. |
