seems the transfer is finally coming to fruition. Napoli ticks all the boxes for me better league, more talented teammates, champions league team, less physically demanding league unlike the EPL. only worries i have are Gattuso's coaching ability. Osimhen should also know that playing for a club like Napoli that the great Amando Maradona comes with extra pressure very different from that of Lille but let me not get ahead of myself let's wait for the transfer to be confirmed TheSuperNerd: |

ChrisKels: You are not crazy The first thing that struck me about sadiq umars stats are his assist. In fact according to ogn rudiger sais something similar https://www.owngoalnigeria.com/2020/06/30/chelsea-star-rudiger-explains-why-sadiq-umar-will-make-the-difference-for-super-eagles/ Football is nit allways nwcesarilly about who is better but about the formation the player fits into. Sadiq umars creativity might actually be his selling point as few strikers have that. He might go further than we think because of this quality |

yeah that's a concern however I think Osimhen is a confident mentally strong lad. i think he will be able to cope besides Naples is a friendly city. i haven't heard reports of them being racially abusive Subzero047: |

Folarin to consult parents before making a decision on his international future. Arsenal strike star Folarin Balogun, 18, was born in New York, is dubbed next Aubameyang but is set to leave Gunners Tom Roddy 30 Jun 2020, 11:53Updated: 30 Jun 2020, 12:06 ![]() Balogun has represented England at youth level having starring in the Under-17s European Championships last yearCredit: Getty Images - Getty IT looks like Arsenal wonderkid Folarin Balogun is set to leave the Gunners for pastures new. The New York-born striker, recognised as one of the academy's top talents, is reportedly stalling on a new contract and wants to leave the club on a free transfer for a new challenge, after failing to break into Mikel Arteta's first team. Balogun moved to England at the age of two and his family settled in London. He played in Sunday league football for Aldersbrook in Essex, and even had a trial with Tottenham. But he decided to join Arsenal when he was 10 and rose through the ranks with the Gunners. Simply put, he is a goalscoring machine, who has struck 10 goals in 15 Premier League games in Premier League 2 for Arsenal's Under-23s. Such a prolific record would, naturally, see some Emirates fans comparing the speedy striker to their first-team superstar Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. And they wouldn't be the only ones. BAL GAME "I am the sort of striker that likes to play on the shoulder of the last defender and make runs behind them, similar to the way that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang plays," Balogun told Arsenal.com. Aubameyang has given the star his backing, too. Last season's joint top-scorer in the Premier League responded to a profile of Balogun by saying: "This young boy is [fire emoji]". Arteta has a deep chest of young jewels to choose from over the next few years. Freddie Ljungberg, assistant coach and former head of academy, knows full well the extent of talent in Arsenal's youth ranks. He has helped progress and promote, with Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock starring in the first team in the past few seasons. But Balogun has seen his path into the first team blocked by the likes of Aubameyang, Lacazette, and now Nketiah, who has been getting a run of games under Arteta. "I do a lot of work in training trying to improve and develop different ways of finishing so that when the chance comes, I’m ready to use whichever option is best," Balogun said. "It also helps to keep defenders guessing. As the standard of the teams in which you play rises, you get less and less time and fewer opportunities on the ball. THREE-WAY FIGHT "This is what drives me to be as efficient as possible in front of goal." While Balogun waits for his opportunity at club level, he has a choice to make of his own when it comes to the national team. He has already represented England at youth level, in the 2018 European Championships, but has two other options. "I was born in New York, so can play for the USA," he said. "My parents were born in Nigeria and I have been in England since I was two years old, so I can play for both those countries too! "I have several youth caps playing for England and I enjoy their style of play which is similar to Arsenal’s. "I will be discussing matters with my parents and will then decide." His curtain call awaits. --TheSun 1 Like |

andrewbaba44: If Leicester can finish in the top 6 that is an achievement. The EPL is not a sprint but hard fought marathon, in which every game counts. This is where the quality and depth of your squad will make the difference, Leicester don't have quality depth in thier squad. The games are coming in hard and fast you must rotate. That's why l see Leicester finishing 6th. |

sheyishemba: Eze has been consistently improving for the past three seasons. He is the best player in the Championship. Very few of any of our players currently have that accolade in thier respective league. If Etebo who was anonymous in the Championship can leave for Getafe and become first team quality.
