Yeah... just some like El-Arabi, Penaranda, Ruben Rochina and even Cuenca.

To be honest, Granada has very few okay players but I admire their doggedness sometimes against certain big opponents.

Watford won't be much of a bad move but honestly Isaac's talents is bigger than even watford. #fact

“I was born in South London, England to Nigerian parents. I am eligible to represent England and Nigeria but I would prefer to represent Nigeria.”


Olanrewaju added : “When playing for Stevenage I was meant to go to the Nigeria U17s then a big injury occurred. Now I am 19, first season back at a pro club and managing to get back on track quite well at the moment.


“I am a left winger, hard worker, good at pressing, skillful and link play to strikers feet.”

Moses Olanrewaju had stops at Brentford, Stevenage and Rushden & Diamonds in England before he transferred to Scottish club Stirling Albion.

Just last week, he was voted the Young Player of the Year at The Binos.

Arsenal are interested in signing England youth-teamer Dominic Solanke from Chelsea in the summer.

The Sun says the Gunners are unlikely to meet his wage demands but will offer him a role in the first team .

Solanke is under contract with Chelsea until the summer of 2017 and negotiations on a new deal have not been fruitful.

Exclusive: Juventus Rule Out Signing Samuel Chukwueze, Arsenal Deal On The Brink Of Collapse
[/size]

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Italian Serie A giants Juventus have ruled out signing Nigeria U17 international Samuel Chukwueze from Diamond Academy.


Representatives of the Bianconeri negotiated a transfer fee with the Umuahia-based nursery team before the Golden Eaglets star traveled to London to train with Arsenal but could not agree terms, with the financial compensation proving a stumbling block.


Diamond Academy have admitted that Chukwueze’s proposed move to the Emirates is on the brink of collapse and opened a line of communication with the facilitator of the Juventus deal a few days ago but got a negative response.


The Turin-based outfit had held talks with Victor Osimhen in Lagos before he struck a deal with Wolfsburg and had considered signing his teammates Funsho Bamgboye and Chukwueze after the striker gave them the cold shoulder.


Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund had explored the possibility of signing Chukwueze after the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup but it appears the trail has gone cold.

Allnigeriasoccer.com can confirm that ex-Golden Eaglets star David Enogela has returned to his homeland after undergoing trials with Belgian Pro League side Club Brugge.


The Young Stars midfielder was called up to the Nigeria U20s get-together but arrived in Abuja with his agent and informed officials that he is nursing a hamstring injury though he was not assessed by team medics.


Now, it has been claimed by Enogela’s camp that he suffered a relapse of the hamstring injury while testing with Club Brugge for about two weeks.


The Belgian side are not throwing in the towel despite his injury setback and permitted him to return to Nigeria to treat the injury and have officially written to him to return to Bruges later this month.


Granada reps were in contact with David Enogela’s bonafide intermediary after the Fifa Under 17 World Cup but it appears Club Brugge are now in pole position for his signature.

Roma Nigerian youngster targets next season after injury setbacks
[/size]

Nura Abdullahi of AS Roma

by Samm Audu

AS Roma young Nigerian defender Nura Abdullahi has told AfricanFootball.com he hopes to establish himself in the top flight in Italy next season after an outgoing campaign during which he was sidelined by injury for several months.


Right fullback Abdullahi is on a season-long loan at Roma from Serie B side Spezia, but he has yet to make his debut for the capital city club with two rounds of matches till the end of the season.


“It has been a very difficult season for me. First, I had a surgery and was out for three months and then I returned and suffered an ankle injury training with the youth team and I was out for five weeks,” he revealed to AfricanFootball.com

“But I have been back now training again for the past two weeks.

“My target therefore is next season and hopefully God will make it possible for me to have a great campaign then.”


Like his better known compatriot and teammate Sadiq Umar, 18-year-old Nura is expected to bag a four-year contract with Roma in July.

Roma are currently third on the Serie A table, which already earns them a place in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

But they will automatically qualify for the Champions League should they topple Napoli from second place on the table.

Napoli are two points ahead of Roma with two matches to the end of the season on May 15.

Exclusive: Malaga Hoping To Snatch Nwakali From Under The Noses Of Arsenal; Agent Sends Petition To Club
[/size]

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Spanish La Liga side Malaga have opened a line of communication with representatives of Nigeria U20s skipper Kelechi Nwakali regarding a deal this summer.


The Diamond/ASJ Academy midfielder and his camp have claimed that the player’s proposed move to the Emirates is more or less in the bag but that is far away from the reality on the ground on face value, with Arsenal officially communicating that they are still locked in talks with the Nigerian teams.


It can be revealed that Stellar Group brokered the deal that is supposed to take Nwakali to Arsenal but the ex-Golden Eaglets skipper had already signed a player/agent representation contract with Belgian-based intermediary Klay Ekeocha, which was still running by the time Gareth Bale’s agent came into the picture.


Now, Ekeocha has contacted Arsenal through his lawyer, informing the Gunners suits that he spent a lot of his personal resources on Kelechi Nwakali before he was handed over to Stellar Group and needs to be compensated in one way or another before the deal will sail through.

Malaga are hoping to profit from the ongoing impasse and are preparing a bid for the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup Golden Ball winner.


Los Boquerones have a good relationship with Kelechi Nwakali’s entourage, having struck a deal with Manchester City for his elder brother Chidiebere to play on loan at the club in January 2015.

Ex-Golden Eaglets Midfielder David Enogela To Join Club Brugge For Pre-season Training In July
[/size]

Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that Nigeria youth international David Enogela has postponed his trip to Belgium to rejoin Club Brugge where he underwent trials with a view to a transfer in the summer transfer market.


The former Golden Eaglets midfielder was earlier scheduled to travel to Bruges this weekend but has been informed by the leadership of the Blue-Black that he should arrive in Belgium in the first week of July.


David Enogela was at Club Brugge last month to be shown around the facilities at the club and undergo routine training prior to penning a contract but the trial was cut short after he sustained a hamstring injury.


The Young Stars product would have been treated in Belgium but the club jettisoned the idea as his visa was about to expire and was told to come back to his homeland, treat the injury and extend his visa.

If Enogela proves he is in tip-top condition, he will travel with the Club Brugge squad for pre-season training.

[/size]

The Nigeria U20s continued their preparations for the upcoming Africa U20 Cup of Nations qualifiers against Burundi by beating Nigerian National League side, Katsina United 3-1 in a friendly on Friday morning.


Football College Abuja attacking midfielder Kingsley Michael continued his fine run of form in front of goal, scoring for the third game on the spin after he gave the Flying Eagles the lead in the fifth minute.


At halftime, the scoreboard read 1-0 but it changed early in the second half when skipper Kelechi Nwakali scored directly from a free kick before left-back Udochukwu Anumudu added more gloss to the scoreline with the third goal in the 75th minute.


The Emmanuel Amuneke-led side took their foot off the pedal after going 3-0 up and paid for it, with Ibrahim Sule pulling a goal back for Katsina United eight minutes from time.


The Flying Eagles have won six test games so far, beating Sia-One Academy, Dabo Babes, a Kaduna State –selected side,Supreme Court, FRSC and Katsina United.

For me,just 2 players are ok from these 10 players- Nura and Sadiq that's all,we don't need too many foreign players at this level,we need only the exceptional foreign pros,it's always difficult to get them to to report to camp on time for the coach to really work on them, Perhaps that was one of the reason we didn't do well the last time.

That is not true. Manu fumbled period. What and where did the home boys take us to. We should not use excuses like this to cover Manu's shame please. Was Nigeria the only country that feature foreign based players?

We need the best in our U20. And all the stated names can do a good job for us. Most of them will displace some of the players in camp if they continue with their current form. Forgiveness, Dominic Solanke is not on this list gringrin
