[b][size=14pt]Struggling Success Unsure Of Future[/size]  Struggling Spanish La-Liga side Granada are yet to make a decision on the future of on loan-forward Isaac Success. The Nigeria Under-20 striker was loaned to the team by Serie A side Udinese last season upon his signing, as the Italian outfit have exhausted their foreign players quota. Udinese just like Granada are owned by same owners, the Pozzo family, who are also the owners of promotion chasing English Championship side Watford. Granada's main problem this season has been their poor goal return in La-Liga and Success, who was thrust in at the start of the season, failed to solve their issues. Success has been finding games hard to come by since the sacking of Joan Capaross as new manager Albert Resino has relegated him to the B team. Playing for the B team his fine form of 6 goals from 15 games, as opposed to one goal in 27 for the first team, has proven his quality. According to reports gathered by SL10.ng, Success might have his loan deal extended if Granada are relegated as the club will have to rely on youth players to cut costs. But if they stay up a decision will be made on his future in the summer. A move to Watford like Odion Ighalo is not feasible due to issues with obtaining a work permit hence making his situation more complicated ahead of this summer. However, a strong showing at the World Youth Championship in New Zealand where he is due to participate with Nigeria will help in hastening a decision on his next career move. [/b] |

[b][size=14pt]Musa Muhammed: We Will Take On Anyone[/size]  Flying Eagles captain Musa Muhammed has said he wants to have the best tournament of his life and help Nigeria win the FIFA U20 World Cup. The Nigerian U20’s are one of Africa’s representatives at this year’s U20 World Cup and find themselves in group E, alongside favourites Brazil, as well as Hungary and North Korea. And Muhammed says he’s hoping to break Nigeria’s jinx of not winning the U20 World Cup. “We have been working hard and the goal is simple: to win the World Cup. We have a tough group ahead and it’s going to take a lot of work for us to get ahead of them so we have to work harder. “On a personal note, I want to have the best time of my career and the best tournament of my career and in the process help my country win the World Cup,” he said. The 18-year-old also spoke about Nigeria’s group and says they are not paying special attention to any particular team, but will take it one game at a time. “We are not looking at giving a special attention to any particular team. We just want to prepare and take it one game at a time,” he stated.[/b] |

[b][size=14pt]Sokari features as Flying Eagles win 4-1[/size]  Enyimba star Kingsley Sokari was a second half substitute as Nigeria’s Flying Eagles trounced Abuja Football College 4-1 in a test game at the Abuja National Stadium on Friday to prepare them for next month’s U20 World Cup in New Zealand. Sokari was the last player to join the Flying Eagles training camp in Abuja and with just minutes to spare, he was denied by the goalkeeper in Friday’s test game. It was a keen contest with the Flying Eagles eventually imposing themselves on a lively Abuja College team, who played part of the second half a man shot after a player was sent off. After several early misses including Taiwo Awoniyi throwing away a sitter in the 10th minute, the Flying Eagles finally took the lead on 12 minutes when skipper Musa Muhammed converted a penalty for a foul inside the box. The Flying Eagles then survived a scare in the 20th minute as Abuja College poured forward for an equalising goal. The African champions doubled their lead in the 33rd minute when Ifeanyi Matthew fired home from deep inside the box. Bernard Bulwa then saw his effort crash against the post in the 35th minute, before Ifeanyi Matthew also smashed his shot against the post from distance 10 minutes later. Abuja College chased the game in the second half and were deservedly rewarded in the 55th minute through Nigeria U17 international Kingsley Michael, who capped an impressive showing with a confidently struck goal from inside the box. On the hour, skipper Muhammed put away a second penalty after an opponent handled the ball inside the 18-yard box. Substitute Christian Pyagbara put this game beyond Abuja College in the 82nd minute when he chipped over the goalkeeper. Flying Eagles vs Abuja Football College Dele Alampasu – Musa Muhammed (Izu Omego), Mustapha Abdullahi (Samuel Okon), Bashiru Monsuru, Zaharadeen Bello – Abdullahi Alfa (Gabriel Okechukwu), Ifeanyi Ifeanyi (Akinjide Idowu), Ifeanyi Matthew (Chidiebere Nwakali), Bernard Bulbwa (Christian Pyagbara), Taiwo Awoniyi (Usman Sale), Alhassan Ibrahim ‘Muazam’ (Kingsley Sokari)[/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt]We're preparing without Iheanacho - Manu Garba[/size] Head coach of Nigeria's U20 national team, Manu Garba has told Goal that his side is preparing for life without hot starlet Kelechi Iheanacho at the upcoming Fifa U20 World Cup in New Zealand that starts on May 30. Iheanacho, who missed the African Youth Championship in Senegal due to injury, is unlikely to be available for the World Cup if he fails to reach full fitness in time. But the former Golden Eaglets gaffer insists they are still hopeful just as the 2013 Fifa U17 World Cup Golden Ball winner and his English club side. "I'm just hearing from you about 'the condition given by Manchester City before his release'. I can't tell you anything about Iheanacho because I have not gotten any official report on him. We are focused on the players we've already gotten to represent the country," Garba told Goal. "I cannot discuss about his progress because I’m not with him neither do we know his state of fitness. Though I've been in contact, the boy is very keen in coming to play for the country. "Same way the club (Man City) are also eager to see him play, though they insist he must be fit and injury-free before being released. They did promise to release him as soon as they attest to his fitness. If they do, we are always happy and ready to have in the team," the former Gombe United gaffer continued. "At the moment, we are focused on preparing the players we have on ground for the U20 World Cup. We are hopeful on having him in the team to contribute his best to helping the country at the World Cup. "The NFF are doing everything they can do in ensuring his release. But this technical crew is focused on working with the players available to ensure the country succeeds at the championship in case he is not fit," he concluded. Earlier, assistant coach Nduka Ugbade had told Goal that the midfielder had returned to full training at Manchester City and he is likely to feature in Monday's FA Youth Cup final second leg clash with Chelsea. Ugbade said: "The Sports Director of Manchester City told us Iheanacho is okay, but they want him play the one or two games without any injury concerns because they have given their words to allow him to join us to the training camp in Germany if he is fully fit." He further confirmed that the pair of Wilfred Ndidi and Moses Simon, who play for KRC Genk of Belgium, will join the Flying Eagles in Germany due to their club's chase of a UEFA Champions League ticket have delayed them from teaming up with the U20 national side as well as Isaac Success of Spanish outfit Granada. The African representatives are drawn in Group E alongside Brazil, North Korea and Hungary. Coach Manu Garba's side will begin their campaign for glory in the international youth competition against Brazil at the Taranaki Stadium, New Plymouth on June 1.[/b] |

[b][size=14pt]Arsenal, Tottenham & Liverpool Tracking Moses Simon[/size]  SL10.ng understands that Arsenal could make a summer swoop for Moses Simon after posting a scout to run the rule over the Gent striker during a recent league game. The Nigeria international has been observed at close quarters by several European powerhouses leading up to the opening of the transfer window. Arsenal face competition from Premier League pair Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, who have both been tracking the attacker since he moved to Gent from AS Trencin in January. Other teams that have checked on Moses Simon's progress in Belgium include Stuttgart, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Monchengladbach, Eintracht Frankfurt and Cologne. Also, Ajax Amsterdam and PSV Eindhoven are known to be long-term admirers of the Golden Boot Soccer Academy product. Moses Simon joined Gent on a three - and-a-half year deal three months ago, but The Buffalos top brass would be willing to offload him to an interested club who can meet his transfer fee thought to be around 20 million euros. The 19-year-old is expected to star for Nigeria at this summer's Fifa Under 20 World Cup in New Zealand.[/b] 1 Like |

The Nigerian U20’s travel to the European country on Thursday for a three week training camp and will travel to New Zealand from there for the FIFA U20 World Cup and Manu has talked about the importance of having such an exercise. “It is going to be good for us on several grounds. First is the weather which is similar to that of New Zealand at this time and that should give us an idea of what to expect in New Zealand. “Secondly we have to also talk about the facilities which are better than what we have here at home. That should help put us in better physical and mental shape for the tournament,” he said. The Flying Eagles coach also talked about the friendly games they hope to play while in Germany, and says that should also better prepare them. “We also hope to play better friendly matches there, especially with youth teams of some of the German clubs and that will also give us a feel of playing teams of such quality and exposure and hopefully they will count for something in the end,” he added.[/b] 1 Like |

The Anglo-Nigerian is regarded as one of the brightest prospects at The Boleyn Ground so much so that manager Sam Allardyce named the central defender in his 18 - man squad for the Premier League clash against Arsenal last month. ''I've always wanted to play for my country ever since I was a kid,'' Emmanuel Onariase confided to SL10.ng. ''My future lies with God, he is my sense of direction, he has plans for me, which ever country I end up playing for I know it's God that chose it for me! He will give me a sign when the time comes. ''Of course I would honour a call up from my home country! I would love to play for my country with a passion!'' The 18 - year - old has revealed that former Super Eagles skipper Joseph Yobo has always been his role model, and did not spare praise for the ex Everton and Norwich City stopper. ''I look up to Joesph Yobo who was a centre back for the Super Eagles but retired last year. ''Yobo is a solid defender! Being the team captain, he led the team by example, he also played in the Premier league for Everton. ''He is composed on the ball and he reads the game well making vital tackles! What a great player!'' Emmanuel Onariase added. West Ham believe Onariase will be key for the club in future and they moved quickly to offer him a professional deal earlier this month.[/b] 1 Like |

A representative of the Arnhem- based outfit has contacted the intermediary that looks after the affairs of the U20 and U23 starlet over the possibility of moving to The GelreDome in the summer. It is understood that Vitesse Arnhem were placed on alert after the 17-year - old netted a brace for the Nigeria Under 23s in All Africa Games qualifier against Zambia two weeks ago. As well as Vitesse Arnhem, representatives of Manchester United, Olympiakos, Red Bull Salzburg, Porto, RSC Anderlecht and Esperance have opened a line of communication with Taiwo Awoniyi's minders. But the most concrete interest so far has come from Tunisian powerhouse Esperance, who firmed up their interest by offering him a five - year deal and a sign-on bonus of 650,000 Euros. Bear it in mind that Taiwo Awoniyi signed a preliminary contract with Kalmar after the 2013 Fifa Under 17 World Cup but the deal is not watertight as the Nigeria Football Federation is yet to rule on the club that own his registration and economic rights.[/b] 1 Like |

Speaking to SL10.ng, the former Golden Eaglets coach says there has to be a lot more to the team, for them to win the competition. “The things we must do to achieve success in New Zealand are first of all, good preparation, which I think we are having at the moment,” he said. “Then of course there has to be hard work from both the players and the coaches. “There also has to be team discipline and transparency in the way we select the players.
