I really feel that Ebere Eze may not have a smooth international football....

I just fear for him.... that like Akpom he may later wanna come back but gonna be a difficult ride for him.....

Dude made the mistake of rejecting the national team advances the last time....
And also had it been he gave pinnick some YES affirmation it would have been so easy for him...because there is no way this dude can be a starter or even make the bench for the 3 lions

You have a good point

It looks like the switch for Akpom is going to be a waste of time and money

I agree. He isn't even bossing the Greek league .

What stops us from inviting Chidera Ejuke or David Okereke instead?

dennis is no striker, being versatile enough to be deployed as a striker some times in brugge doesnt make him one. he is a natural winger so you guys should stop mention him as a cf.

if signed by leicester to fight for a starter's shirt from any of the wingers and can also be deployed as a cf if any of vardy or nacho is out inured or suspended
Yes he's versatile enough to play as a 9. Would be surprised if he got converted to a CF?

He has played as a striker for Brugge a few times so it's not that surprising.
Don't sleep on Leicester scouts o... See how they've replaced Maguire like he was nothing.

If they make the top 4, let Ndidi stay put for at least one more season

Swiss-based organization CIES Football Observatory has unveiled the best performing players in 35 European leagues using the exclusive InStat Index, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

Barcelona striker and recent Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi (401) is the only player that ranked greater than 400, followed by Ajax Amsterdam's Hakim Ziyech (377), PSG's Kylian Mbappe (366), Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez (362) and PSG's ángel Di María (360) in that order.

The top ranked Nigerian player in the rankings is Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi (323), putting him in 66th position along with Manchester City star Bernardo Silva and Fenerbahce's Serdar Aziz.

The Super Eagles midfielder has been influential for the second-placed team in the English Premier League this season, going the distance in all but one of their matches and scoring twice in his first six games of the season.

The second best Nigerian player listed is Queens Park Rangers attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze, who is having his best season as a professional, netting 9 goals in 20 Championship games while providing four assists.

Joint-top scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie, Cyriel Dessers comes next with an InStat Index of 301, one less than Eze.

Nantes winger Moses Simon and Torino's Ola Aina complete the top five best ranked Nigerian players.

It is worthy of note that the aforementioned Nigerian players are aged twenty-five or under.

Best Five Nigerian Players In Europe

1) Wilfred Ndidi - Leicester City - 66th - 323 Index
2) Eberechi Eze - Queens Park Rangers - 291st - 302
3) Cyriel Dessers - Heracles - 311th - 301
4) Ola Aina - Torino - 536th - 292
5) Moses Simon - Nantes - 536th - 292

You've definitely not been watching Leicester at all this season.

They play their Normal game irrespective of how big the opponent involved. They gave Liverpool a run for their money and lost to an Injury time VAR awarded penalty and almost beat Chelsea, while playing adventurous in both games.

And you haven't noticed that they changed thier formation when they brought KC in.

Everything else you have said is irrelevant.

I do not know why such a statement. I just hope it does not spoil the relationship we have built with Eze. We need all the player's feeling like brothers and supporting each other. Let there be no feeling of competition.

From what l gather there is contention between Rohr and Amaju.

Erling Braut Haaland is good but not better than Osimhen. The reason for his goal haul is simply bkus he plays for a better team, he would struggle to get as many goals playing alongside Ikone, Bamba and co. No young striker posseses Osimhen's innate ruggedity. Haaland doesn't have Osimhen's workrate, off the ball.



BTW, Mwepu is great baller

It is journalists spreading fake news. 99% of what is been said is false.

Rohr never made that statement.

No dear

You call mane and Gueye because they play for big teams ,you didn’t even call koulibally

If I am to go by your style then no naija player will be worth to be mentioned because none of players are playing for teams in the caliber of psg or Liverpool

Sometimes there are some argument that expose people complete lack of knowledge.

Koulibaly is on the way to becoming the most expensive defender in football history currently. He is arguably the best CB in the world.

And someone is saying l dont know anything about African football.

Essentially Senegal have far more players playing in the top 5 leagues of Europe than we do. They also have a never ending conveyor belt of talent from the French league one.

Our only striker making waves is Victor Osimhen in the top leagues.

Habib Diallo has scored same number of goals as Victor Osimhen. Somehow the person who is saying l dont know anything about African didn't even know his name.

We could talk about Mbiaye Diana or Ismaila Sarr.

Instead we are getting orgasmic and euphoric about our striker who has scored two goals KC this season, is it good enough probably yes because we lack quality strikers. But then again we simply don't have many if any quality striker apart from Victor.

The reality Anybody with KC stats will not even smell the Senegalese team.

They simply have far more options and strengthen in depth.

Consider Moussa Wagué has not played enough games but wait for it he plays for Barcelona.

Finally, an indictment on this divisory attitude of calling players FB and implied they are less Nigerian or loyal to the SE cause.

Look at how many of the Senegalese team were born in France and not you but many lacking knowledge will be suprised.

I don't watch club football, so, I mentioned the first two that came to my mind(the most mentioned here). But yes, koulibaly too.

So you leaped before you looked, you then denigrated my comments that l have limited knowledge that's derisory.

How then do you from a position of zero knowledge then dismiss my comments.

Can l conclude that of its not objective it's emotive and negative sentiment.

You can educate yourself with my comments to Andrewbaba44.

That's why l concluded you must miss me so much you just couldn't resist the temptation to comment. Even if it doesn't make sense.

Nonetheless, it's all comedy to me. LOL
