[b][size=14pt] Update: No Headway In Negotiations For Watford Target Uche Agbo [/size]  Representatives of Udinese midfielder Uche Agbo continue to thrash out terms with Watford over the transfer of the former Nigeria U20 international. Talks with the Hornets higher-ups started around the same time as that involving Isaac Success, who has already arrived in the United Kingdom to join his new team, whereas there has been no headway in negotiations for Agbo. “We are discussing personal terms with Watford but nothing has been agreed. We are hoping to conclude talks this month, ” said Uche’s representative Dominic Egbukwu to allnigeriasoccer.com. Uche Agbo penned a professional contract with Udinese along with Isaac Success in January 2014, but the two players were immediately farmed out on loan to sister club Granada to continue their development. The former Enyimba star made Granada’s starting line-up in La Liga three times last term. Ifeanyi Emmanuel http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=19607 [/b] |

[b][size=14pt] French club Lorient target Musa Mohammed [/size]  Musa Mohammed - Wanted in France. French Ligue 1 club Lorient are interested in signing Nigeria defender Musa Mohammed from Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir FK, AfricanFootball.com can exclusively report. Musa, 19, has two more years left on his contract at his Turkish Super Liga club, who value him at around 2 million Euros. “Lorient are interested in Musa, but he has a number of other options this summer in Belgium and Germany and he could well move to another club during this window,” a top source told AfricanFootball.com Last season, Lorient placed 15th on the 20-team Ligue 1 table. Musa is an all-action right back armed with total commitment. In March, the Nigeria U17 and U20 captain won much-awaited full international caps against Mali and Luxembourg. He is also on the provisional squad for the Rio Olympics in August. http://africanfootball.com/news/632721/French-club-Lorient-target-Musa-Mohammed [/b] |

[b][size=14pt] Omeruo rejoins Chelsea Monday, yet to agree terms with Besiktas [/size]  Omeruo in Chelsea Training by Samm Audu Nigeria defender Kenneth Omeruo will rejoin English Premier League side Chelsea on Monday after holidaying in Nigeria and he has not yet agreed personal terms with Turkish champions Besiktas. “Kenneth will rejoin Chelsea for training on Monday,” a source told AfricanFootball.com “His loan move to Besiktas is going well but nothing has been agreed because he has not discussed personal terms with the Turkish club.” As we first reported, Besiktas cannot buy the Nigeria international defender outrightly because they will run foul of the UEFA financial fair play and so the loan deal. However, they could have the option to buy him from Chelsea at the end of the season-long loan at the Istanbul giants. Omeruo has so far been loaned out by Chelsea to Dutch club ADO Den Haag, Middlesbrough and Kasimpasa of Turkey. http://africanfootball.com/news/632698/Omeruo-rejoins-Chelsea-Monday-yet-to-agree-terms-with-Besiktas [/b] |

This causes Inflation on their players and make it easier for wack English boys to become big players without true talents. England should focus more on improving their Underage performances.

Nigerian coaches are are not helping matters because they would not have released him like that if he is in Nigeria National team. We know he deserves a call up to the National team with his exploit these passed three seasons with Panathinaikos-fc but Nepotism, na my brother etc made the bigot coaches turn around for mediocre players.

forgiveness: I agree with you. For instance, Ajagun had more to offer to the Super Eagles than Onobi Oliseh waved like the next best thing since Paul Scholes. If Ajagun got the kind of playing time in the National team that Oliseh used on Onobi, Ajagun will not be in this position. No doubt, a club will snap him up and it will be a good bargain for the club. |

Icon4s: Remember, we had the same problem with Berti Vogtz and Lars Lagerback. The same players repeating themselves on the list and most notably Obafemi Martins repeatedly left out of the starting line or sub roles despite him being fire. Remember the same confusion under Philippe Trousierre until we let him go. Our problem lies upstairs in the NFF building. As long as we have self centered folks with their agenda running our football, it will be hard for coaches to succeed. I think the best we had in recent years was actually Coach Keshi's winning AFCON list and the man went through hell before, during and after the tourney. I remember Coach Keshi calling Aaron Samuel and all hell was released on Coach Keshi. I still feel the best we have is still Coach Keshi. We had many critical points but his list towards the end of the qualifiers before Hope Akpan's injury was spot on. That is when he played Onazi as a right back and Hope Akpan behind Mikel. I agree player selection has been our problem for years. Oliseh and Siasia were terrible. I do not know if a foreign coach can solve the problem because the NFF have too much power to tamper with the Coach's progress. 1 Like |

Wydad announced on their official website that they have received the International Transfer Certificate (ITC) of the forward who was the shining light of a dour AFCON 2016 campaign for Nigeria. Shortly after the announcement Owngoalnigeria.com spoke with the Abia Warriors Chairman over the claims of the Moroccans because as exclusively broken by us months ago his transfer to Wydad Casablanca has fallen through. “We are not aware of any business with them, we had an agreement which they didn’t honour and the deal was cancelled, no one has given them his ITC, we don’t have any business with them” He told Owngoalnigeria.com. Owngoalnigeria.com exclusively gathered that the forward who is a target for Lille of France could depart the shores of Nigeria on Wednesday for France but the recent claims by Wydad Casablanca could derail his impending transfer. owngoalnigeria.com/2016/07/02/abia-warriors-trade-words-with-wydad-casablanca-over-lille-target-chikatara/ [/b] |

[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria La Liga 2013/14 Watford 5 Reasons 12 million pounds-man Isaac will be a success at Watford [/size] Watford broke a club transfer record when they snapped up Isaac Success from La Liga side Granada CF for 12.5 million pounds and now. AfricanFootball.com gives five compelling reasons the young Nigeria striker will be a hit in the English Premier League. 5. He is a team player Success commitment is whole-hearted and he works hard for the team now as a professional. In his younger days, the team played for him, but with time and more experience, he now grafts also for the group. His work rate is phenomenal now that he is less prolific than he was as a schoolboy international star. 4. A battle-hardened campaigner This will be his third year in Europe and during which time, he has survived two relegation scraps, which could only have toughened him in this cruel world of football. His stint in Europe must have gone a long way in making his switch to Europe a lot easier especially as he has yet to be capped atfull international level by Nigeria. 3. A versatile front man He is first and foremost a top striker, but has also now been known to play as a second striker or on the wings, where he uses his pace and power to go past his marker. 2. Hungry for success Success was The Star of the 2013 U17 African Championship in Morocco as he outshone the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho now of Manchester City and Taiwo Awoniyi, who has since teamed up with Liverpool. He is now fired up to reclaim his place as Nigeria’s most promising young player after a hamstring ended his FIFA U17 World Cup campaign prematurely three years ago and he failed to shine at the 2015 FIFA U20 World Cup in New Zealand. Having compatriot Odion Ighalo at Vicarage Road can only quicken his integration to his new life and surroundings. 1. A warrior With his speed, power, size and all-action style, he is a warrior and he will not be out of place in the fast-paced English Premier League. He will be more than willing to get into duels with some of the meanest defenders in the league, just as he did in Spain, where he suffered a serious facial injury as a result of a contest and had to wear a protective face mask. As long as he is fit, he will keep his marker on his toes for the entire game. africanfootball.com/news/632736/5-Reasons-12-million-pounds-man-Isaac-will-be-a-success-at-Watford [/b] 1 Like |

Aside the duo of Mikel and Omeruo, Coach Siasia also confirmed that he has enough cover in-between the sticks as South Africa based Daniel Akpeyi has also given the green lights that he would be available not just for the tournament but also for the training camp in the United States. “We have some players that have promised to join us and they have shown commitment like Wilfred Ndidi who has assured us that he will join us in America. “Other players that also promised to come are: goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi, Kenneth Omeruo and Mikel Obi. These are the players that are confirmed for now,” Siasia was quoted as saying on Goal. “If we can get all these players with the ones with us already and we can play the way we want them to play I am sure we will have the chance to fight for the gold medal at stake in the Olympics. “But like I have been saying it won’t be easy at all at the Olympics but we will try and push this team to the level needed to compete for honours in this high level of competition”, the Dream Team VI Coach added. Siasia also confirmed that Ndidi, Omeruo and Akpeyi have shown their interest for the team’s friendly against Mexico in the United States of America on July 2 before facing Honduras on July 27, 2016. www.soccernet.com.ng/2016/07/chelsea-stars-confirmed-for-rio-olympic.html [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Nolito joins Iheanacho at Manchester City [/size] Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho has received a new teammateat Manchester City after the club announced the capture of Spanish star Nolito on a four-year-deal and he will wear the number 9 jersey. Nolito becomes the Etihad giants second major signing this summer after they captured German international IIkay Gundogan from Borussia Dortmund and interestingly, the Spaniard had played under new City manager Pep Guardiola in the past as he gained his senior team cap at Barcelona under Guardiola, making five appearances in the 2010/11 campaign. However, things did not turn out for the player as wanted as he switched sides to Celta Vigo where he blossomed and got a call-up for the national team and was one of the standout performers at the Euro 2016 for Spain despite crashing out in the round of 16 to Italy. “I’ll try to bring as much as I possibly can,” Nolito told Manchester City’s official website. “I’ll do everything that the manager asks of me, try my absolute best and do everything I can to try to repeat the form I’ve shown throughout my career at various clubs. “It’s just about trying to play my normal game and let’s hope that I can help Manchester City to win games. “I think that Pep Guardiola is one of the best managers in the world. He knows a lot about the game and he’s going to help me progress as a player and I’m sure he’ll get the best out of me.” Nolito joins the Citizens from Celta Vigo where he spent three seasons, scoring 39 goals in 103 appearances. www.soccernet.com.ng/2016/07/nolito-joins-iheanacho-at-manchester.html [/b] 1 Like |

Having failed to make a good impression at the Suwon four nation tournaments where the team came third behind teams like South Korea and Denmark, team's coach, Samson Siasia, who has already been feeling the heat, knows that an appreciable impact could help motivate the players for the major tournament. The team are in US intensifying preparation for one of the greatest sports showpiece in the world and have 14 players in camp with the regular names such as Daniel Akpeyi, Musa Muhammad, Azubuike Okechukwu, Stanley Amuzie, Abdullahi Shehu, Usman Mohammed and Saturday Erimuya. The Dream Team lost their last friendly encounter against the Flying Eagles 4-3 last week Saturday and would be hoping to make amends by beating the Mexican U-23 team on Saturday. Meanwhile, Siasia's wish to have Mikel Obi and Kenneth Omeruo to his squad have seen the light of the day after Chelsea gave them the greenlight to feature at the Rio Olympic Games starting on August 5. www.soccernet.com.ng/2016/07/nigerias-u-23-square-up-against-mexico.html [/b] 1 Like |
