[b] Alampasu returns to Belgium after freak injury Nigeria U20 goalkeeper Dele Alampasu has returned to Belgian club Genk with the hope of bagging a pro contract after he first suffered a freak training ground injury that required surgery while on trials there. Alampasu is highly rated after he was voted top goalkeeper at last year’s FIFA U17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, which Nigeria won in fine style. He was also on the final squad for the CHAN earlier this year in South Africa. His agent Sunday Orelaja told AfricanFootball.com that despite the short-lived trials at Genk the youngster had done enough to convince the Belgian club to give him a deal. “They like him from what he showed during the trials and so he has returned to the club,” the London-based agent disclosed. "The recent management changes at the club will not affect his chances of getting a contract." Orelaga also narrated how Alampasu suffered a knee injury while training with Genk. “He was training with the first-team goalkeeper, who aimed a kick at his knee and before you know it, he was down injured. It was an accident,” he revealed. Courtesy ''AfricanFootball.com [/b] |

[b] Pellegrini: Kelechi can be a star 24 July 2014 05:54 AM By Paul Handler The Blues boss was impressed with the performances of his new boys against Sporting Kansas, with Bruno Zuculini and Kelechi Iheanacho particularly impressive. Kelechi Iheanacho in action in Kansas Manuel Pellegrini hailed his City new boys after the Blues defeated Sporting Kansas 4-1 in their first US tour match. Youngster Bruno Zuculini, whose move to City is still to be ratified by the Premier League, scored a cracking early goal, while another young prospect Kelechi Iheanacho was also on target. More experienced duo goalkeeper Willy Caballero and midfielder Fernando got valuable game time in what was a satisfying opener for the boss. Pellegrini told MEN Sport in Kansas: "We have new players. Willy Caballero is good keeper and I know him. "Zuculini is a young player who has come from Argentina and Fernando has more experience in Europe with Porto. "Both of them had very good performances. "Finally, Kelechi is just 17 years old and he’s a very important player for us in the future. "He demonstrated today what he can do in the future. It depends on the way he takes this profession, but I think he’s a good talent." courtesy 'manchestereveningnews.com' [/b] 1 Like |

[b] Manu: Iheanacho can play for Real Madrid Nigeria Flying Eagles coach Manu Garba has told AfricanFootball.com he is not surprised by Kelechi Iheanacho’s man-of-the match showing for Manchester City in Thursday morning's pre-season tie because the player is good enough to play for a bigger club like Real Madrid. Nigeria U20 forward Iheanacho crowned a five-star display for Manchester City with a superb goal in a 4-1 pre-season win over Sporting Kansas City. The Golden Ball winner at the 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup in UAE placed his first-time shot inside the near post with a left-footed strike from 20 yards out with an assist from Navas for the fourth and final goal of the match in the 88th minute. Kansas City goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum denied Iheanacho twice in the first half and the Nigeria starlet was on till 90+2 minutes, when he paved way for Jason Denayer. “I’m not surprised at all by what Iheanacho has shown because if given the chance, he can play for any team in the world like Real Madrid,” said Nigeria U20 coach Manu. “He already has the technique to flourish at the highest level and the only thing the more established players at City could have over him is experience.” Manu said Iheanacho’s biggest asset is his composure and clinical finishing around the box. “At his age, his finishing around the box puts him in a class of his own. He scores five goals in a training. Once you give him the space and allow him to control the ball around the goal area, he could convert three of the five chances he gets. He is that good.” The Flying Eagles coach told AfricanFootball.com he believes his performance against Kansas City will improve his self-belief. “His performance (vs Kansas City) will give him even more confidence to step up his game,” he said. Next month, the Flying Eagles will host Lesotho in a final African Youth Championship qualifier and coach manu said he expects Iheanacho to rejoin the team at least two weeks to the August 16 clash. “We have asked City we need the player back with us at least two weeks before our qualifier, but if that is not possible, we could still have him a week before the game as long as he is playing regularly for his club,” said the coach.

[b] Awoniyi inspires Flying Eagles to 5-0 win Nigeria U20 team, the Flying Eagles, on Thursday stepped up their build-up for next month’s final Africa Youth Championship qualifier against Lesotho when they trounced Nigeria National League side Prisons FC of Abuja 5-0. The Flying Eagles will host Lesotho on August 16 with the return leg a fortnight later in Maseru and the overall winners will advance to the 2015 AYC to be staged by Senegal in March. Taiwo Awoniyi, fresh from a training stint in Sweden, grabbed a brace with Ifeanyi Matthew, Sulaiman Abdullahi, Chisom Eze and Segun Alebiosu also getting on the scoreboard. The Nigeria U20s opened scoring after 12 minutes from the penalty spot when Awoniyi was fouled inside the box and Ifeanyi Matthew sent the goalkeeper the wrong way. Awoniyi then fired his first goal on 26 minutes, when he crashed his effort from inside the box into the roof of the net. The languid striker would have scored again in first half stoppage time, but he missed an easy chance. Prisons best chance came in the 53rd minute, when Flying Eagles goalkeeper Joshua Enaholo parried a goal-bound effort for corner. In the 69th minute, substitute Sulaiman Abdullahi scored the Flying Eagles third goal when he lobbed over the Prisons goalkeeper before he coolly finished off. Prisons midfielder Ochule Paul was sent off in the 71st minute for dissent. Substitutes Chisom Eze and Alebiosu crowned the victory with well-taken goals in the 73rd and 89th minutes, respectively.

[b] No automatic F/Eagles shirt for Iheanacho warns Manu Despite his eye-catching display for English Premier League champions Manchester City, Kelechi Iheanacho will not just walk into the starting XI of the Nigeria U20 team, according to coach Manu Garba.

So, it will always the best who will make my team.” True to his word, Manu benched the Manchester City starlet in both legs when the Flying Eagles recently dumped their Tanzanian counterparts in the qualifying series for the 2015 African Youth Championship in Senegal.

[b]AWONIYI FIRES HAT-TRICK, FLYING EAGLES WIN 8-0 Taiwo Awoniyi fired a hat-trick as the Flying Eagles continued their preparations for the final AYC qualifier against Lesotho with an 8-0 pounding of non-league Basa United on Friday. The Nigeria U20 team will host Lesotho on August 15 with the reverse tie in Maseru two weeks later. The overall winners of this match-up will qualify for the 2015 AYC in Senegal in March.

But Enugu Rangers ace Obinna Nwobodo also shone in midfield even though he did not get his name on the scoreboard. Awoniyi got going after just eight minutes when he smashed home a superb shot. Bernard Bulbwa doubled the advantage after 14 minutes, before Awoniyi got his second goal in the 20th minute, when he was set up by right back Ifeanyi Nweke. Alhassan Ibrahim ‘Muazam’ should have made it 4-0 three minutes later, but he failed to do so from inside the box However, he then set up Awoniyi to complete his hat- trick a minute later. Muazam’s penalty was saved by the goalkeeper in the 26th minute and on the half hour mark, his clever chip failed to find its mark. Ifeanyi Matthew buried a fifth goal from the penalty spot in the 59th minute after substitute Chisom Eze was brought down inside the box. Eze then got his own goal three minutes later after he was put through by Abubakar Lawal. Ifeanyi Ifeanyi headed a corner by Ifeanyi Matthew for the seventh goal on 72 minutes.

[b] CLUBS CHASING IHEANACHO - MAN CITY OFFICIAL AfricanFootball.com can exclusively reveal today that besides MLS side New York City FC, Nigeria youngster Kelechi Iheanacho is wanted by several other clubs after he shone at Manchester City. A source close to a top Manchester City official has informed only AfricanFootball.com that they are yet to decide on where the Nigeria U20 star should now go to on loan. “Kelechi’s profile has shot up since what he achieved in pre-season in the United States of America,” the source said. “As a result of this, many other clubs are keen to have him and Manchester City are expected to soon decide where he will go to on loan. “New York City FC in the MLS is a possibility, but there are several other clubs who have come on board since after what he showed in America.” The source mentioned an opening in Belgium for the young forward, among other possibilities. The MVP of the 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates scored thrice, which included converting his kick in a penalty shootout, during City’s pre-season training tour of the USA. He has yet to sign a professional contract as he can only do so when he turns 18 in October. Chidiebere Nwakali is the other Nigeria youngster at City.

[b] WASIU JIMOH FIRES 4 IN FLYING EAGLES BIG WIN Wasiu Jimoh from the Kwara Football Academy plundered four goals as the Flying Eagles hammered Amakson Academy of Abuja 7-1 in a test match on Thursday. Jimoh has been a fringe player in the Nigeria U20 team, but in the absence of some of the established stars ‘Baba Kwara’ grabbed his chance to make a big statement ahead of a final qualifier against Lesotho on August 16 in Kaduna. He opened scoring after 16 minutes when he jabbed home from a right cross by Ifeanyi Nweke. He then made it 2-0 on 32 minutes with a longrange pile driver, before he completed his hat- trick in the 64th minute with yet another superb shot from distance. He grabbed his fourth goal in the 78th minute with yet another classy effort. Amakson first appeared to be up for a fight because after 36 minutes their lively skipper Isaac Udoh pulled a goal back with the Flying Eagles then leading 2-0. It was a sublime finish by the impressive Udoh as he went past two defenders before slotting beyond goalkeeper Olorunleke Ojo. Thereafter, Taiwo Awoniyi and Sulaiman Abdullahi missed glaring chances, before Chisom Eze put the Nigeria U20 team 3-1 ahead on 62 minutes with a sweet finish. After Jimoh fired his third and fourth goals, substitute Abubakar Lawal increased the tally to 6-1 after he was set up by Abdullahi. The hard working Abdullahi completed the rout on the dot of 90 minutes from the penalty spot after Bernard Bulbwa was felled inside the box.

[b] MANU GARBA: GIVE IHEANACHO A CHANCE IN SUPER EAGLES Flying Eagles coach Manu Garba has said Manchester City starlet Kelechi Iheanacho ought to be given a chance to feature for the Super Eagles. Iheanacho has shone for English Premier League champions Manchester City in pre-season, just months after he was voted the best player at the 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. "The Super Eagles can give Kelechi (Iheanacho) a chance,” Manu told AfricanFootball.com "He is a highly promising talent and Nigeria could really get a lot out of him even at this stage of his career. “Personally, I believe he is more talented than most of the top stars at Manchester City, who are only more experienced than he is.” Manu restated that above all Iheanacho is a top- class finisher around the box. "I’m yet to see a player of his age who can score goals around the 18-yard box with such class and composure like he does,” he remarked. "In training with the U17s, he often scores four, five goals.
