Damn it! This guy is unbelievable. Starting to look like he was made for Galatasaray and Galatasaray for him.

He never felt at home in France. This may be why he was sceptical about moving there in the first place, but Everton had to force him.

If he continues like this 2 years from now teams in the top 5 league will be after him. He has to move to greater heights. He cannot remain a local champion
I mean he has to aim for something better
A move to a top 5 league is inevitable for him. Even if it is an average team like kiln, l'orient or west ham

ChrisKels:
All you guys clamping down oma eulogies for the Ivorian array of super stars, I'm noting down your monikers for future references.

Since this has now become a debate, NFF should better organise a friendly with CIV to clear all our doubts

Aribo makes Scottish team of the month

I just finished watching Galatasary's match.
My conclusion is that this league is too easy for Onyekuru. He's just enjoying himself. He just won a penalty for the team. Can we call this "Comfort Zone" ?
Too easy is really an understatement

TheSuperNerd:


Exciting battle ahead. Etebo vs Zubby.

Nice to see Zubby back. Someone should please find Idennaa

I dey like Dele....lol

Saka will be Arsenal's captain in no time

Tosin Kehinde with two assist for Randers FC in Denmark

Seems the once promising Nigerian youngster Lateef Omidiji will be heading back to the USA from the Netherlands to play for a University side. Making the transition from youth football to senior team football is really an uphill task.

Ramsdale is going to single handedly relegate Sheffied United at this point

Danielnino00:
Off topic....


Here's our basketball group for the Olympics..

Thesupernerd, Bascovanveli and there basketball lovers,how far?
Shey we are going to the promise Land or it's on God?

For the men I have to know if Bam Adebayo is playing before any decision. As for the ladies I believe they can get out of the group. Our last 2 tournaments have shown that we can stand toe to toe with anybody and with a little bit of luck who knows.

I repeat David Luiz should have never been a defender

Subzero047:
Saka will be Arsenal's captain in no time

So u can support Saka to be captain of a club the magnitude of arsenal but Victor Osimhen shouldn't even be mentioned near the super eagles band Cool

BascoVanVeli:

I meant provisional captain like Mount was for Chelsea the other day, he's a long way from being the main captain

Subzero047:

After next season at worst I don’t wanna see Aribo at the Scottish league

Subzero047:

Osimhen has a better chance of being the eagles captain than saka being arsenal captain

But las las none go be captain

Man U will use Southampton for target practice this night

Hassenhuttle will be having pstd of that 9-0 Leicester thrashing

Saka is very mature for his age. Even the way he handled turning us down. I think he will get a good consideration with a good Euro. Just like Magwaya with Man U

I have watched Eze now, twice in a row and I just pray England don't steal him like saka.


The guy is like okocha. He glides effortlessly.

A lot of people here are selective analysts lol. A player like nwakaeme has been impressing for over 2 seasons at turkey league and no one has suggested his name as a possible call up. The moment onyekuru scores 3 goals in 2, he is turkey league lol omo I just dey observe

nobody stop you from talking about Nwakaeme

Oforborh played 90 minutes for Wycombe yesterday, a day after he returned to the club

Bright Osayi-Samuel made his full debut for Fenerbahce as they registered a 2-1 win against Hatayspor at Antakya Atatürk Stadı (Hatay) on Tuesday afternoon.

The Nigerian-born winger made his first appearance for the Yellow Canaries off the bench against Rizespor on January 30, two days after completing his move to the Super Lig giants.

Osayi-Samuel was involved in the build-up to Fenerbahce's opening goal, Mame Thiam headed the ball into the net after a good cross from the right wing by the new signing in the 26th minute.

The 23-year-old spoke glowingly about Mesut Ozil shortly after agreeing terms with Fenerbahce but he didn't get to play alongside the former Arsenal playmaker against Hatayspor as he would have hoped.

Ozil entered the game as a substitute in the 77th minute, ten minutes after Osayi-Samuel was replaced.

Nonetheless, the Nigerian was delighted to be named in the starting XI, and posted on Instagram after the game : "Great win today, happy to get my first start for @fenerbahce".

Osayi-Samuel put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half-year contract with Fenerbahce, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2024-2025 season.

Five goals in the last five matches, Terem Moffi is the revelation of the New Year in the whole of France.

The powerful FC Lorient striker (six goals in all this season) scored and delivered an assist against PSG on Sunday (3-2) after he only came on with half an hour to the end of the match.



The kid from Calabar, Nigeria, will be very important in his club’s survival in Ligue 1 this season.

Growing Up

Terem Moffi: “Like everyone in Nigeria, I started playing football in the streets, before entering an academy, at the age of 11. It was then that I knew I had a chance to become a professional footballer. My father was also a football player. I was good, but I was not the best. “

Exile At 17

“I got admission to a school in England at the age of 17, thanks to football. I never thought it would be possible. It was a big dream coming true.

“It was nevertheless difficult to leave my country for a distant country. I was very young, I did not know life, I was all alone… But I should not think of the past, rather of the future. I had to do it.



“I chose this life, I wanted to succeed in football. In life, you shouldn’t stay in your comfort zone, but you have to look for things. Take risks.”

Discovering Lithuania

Why Lithuania (he signed for Kauno Zalgiris in 2017)?

“Because that was the only option I had! I didn’t know anything about this country. I went to Google to see what it looked like, the food, the culture.

“The first days were difficult. The cold… (he stops and blows) The cold was completely unknown to me. It was hard to adapt. People did not speak English. But I adapted and I did well.

“All in all, I loved my stay there. The people were lovely to me. When they start to adopt you, you almost become a member of their family.

“Also, I’m the type who likes to test things. I enjoyed the food, the culture… ”

His Rise

“Sometimes I can’t believe my eyes when I tell myself that this all happened in less than three years. By the grace of God, it all happened very quickly. Lithuania, Belgium (six months in Kortrijk), now L1 and Lorient. It’s incredible!

Lorient And Ligue 1

“My debut in France was not easy (he arrived in Lorient in September). I would say Ligue 1 is two levels above Belgium.

“I had to adapt to the style of play, to the opponents, to progress physically and tactically. But I feel better now, my mind is cleared and things are coming.



“When things were wrong, I would talk to my father, my mother, who would say to me, “This will come. Do not stress. Think about making yourself happy and just play soccer.

The weight of the transfer (8 million euros)?

“No, I don’t think about it at all. It’s a lot of money, but in my head, in the field, that doesn’t count. It could be 500,000 Euros, 1 or 2 million Euros, it would be the same for me.”

Personal Highlights

“In Lorient, it was the match in Nice, when everything fell into place (2-2, end of December). I played well, the team too, I scored, confidence has returned.

“In my career? Probably when I scored 20 goals in Lithuania. I was all the time in the news.

“The Belgians came to get me, many clubs were interested in me. It opened the doors for me.”

Life In Lorient

“My family here are my partners (smile). We spend a lot of time together: Wiss’ (Wissa), Trevoh (Chalobah), Grbic, “Armando” (Laurienté). We see each other all the time, we have fun, we relax at one or the other’s place, we watch movies, we play cards… Do we cook? No (laughs). We have a chef who takes care of us… ”

Religion

“I am Christian. I believe in God. It is he who gives me everything I experience every day, the strength, the power to do things.

“I don’t go to mass here in Lorient, but I follow church service on the Internet, online service.

“Before and during matches, I pray to God, to give me strength and guide me on the pitch, to lead us to victory. I have no particular superstition.”

National Team

“I haven’t heard from the coach. But if the opportunity arises, I would be extremely happy to represent my country. “


He scored 20 goals last season in Lithuania
His Future

“Like any footballer, I dream of playing for top clubs. But now, I am focused on Lorient. “

Football In Nigeria

“Soccer is the most important sport in Nigeria. When the national team plays, the country stops. Everyone is in front of their TV. I wouldn’t say it’s a religion, but everyone loves football back home.”

His Inspiration

“I grew up watching Jay-Jay Okocha, Obafemi Martins, Nwankwo Kanu, then Victor Osimhen play. I watch him play a lot, we played together (with Golden Eaglets), he’s a real example.

“Otherwise, I am very often compared to Romelu Lukaku, but I am far from his level! Otherwise, I love Didier Drogba, especially when he was playing for Chelsea. I am also a big fan of Robin Van Persie. He was the best, for me. “
