[b][size=14pt] Top 10: African wonderkids set to break out in 2016 [/size] [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/72/88/rivaldo-coetzee_gbi4or9az1o91bx3y46yjrf4r.jpg?t=-994199743&w=320[/img] Rivaldo Coetzee: With a name like that, the South African was destined to become a footballer. He made his Bafana Bafana debut at 17 (becoming the youngest player to ever represent SA at senior level) and a year later he is already one of the first names on coach Shakes Mashaba's team sheet. The centre-back plays for Ajax Cape Town and could well be fast-tracked to the mother club in Amsterdam quite soon. Watch this space. [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/a5/23/wilfried-kaptoum_1lvqm0qdoeerv1611j7d7tctg7.jpg?t=-994165839&w=320[/img] Wilfrid Kaptoum: The 19-year-old Cameroonian is a combative midfielder with immense energy and tenacity. He is highly regarded at Barcelona, and could be their breakout star of 2016. He made his senior debut against Espanyol last season, but has feature more prominently for the B side this season, with whom he won the Uefa youth league last year. He has one Champions League outing under his belt and one Copa del Rey appearance as well. [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/42/a4/kelechi-iheanacho_rgkl8xjvqp7j17y61mue8pw8c.jpg?t=-994132255&w=320[/img] Kelechi Iheanacho: Here’s another 19-year-old set for a great 2016. The Nigerian has already featured for Manchester City both in the Premier League and League Cup this season, and has four goals in 13 games in both competitions. Iheanacho, besides being a prolific goalscorer, is also good passer of the ball with great vision and the ability to dictate and decide games. He was voted Africa’s most promising player of 2013, after winning the Under-17 World Cup.  Adama Traore: Four goals and three assists for Mali at the 2015 Under-20 World Cup plus some breath-taking displays meant he emerged the best player of the tournament. This 20-year-old skilful midfielder will be one of Africa’s biggest stars of 2016. He has already played eight games for Monaco this term, and has one assist to his credit. [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/14/57/keita-balde_fb7zpmpxp3aw1rs7f81xndjca.jpg?t=-993935255&w=320[/img] Keita Balde: He’s a star. The young Senegalese has turned from a Barcelona reject to one of the most promising African players, and 2016 may well be the year he receives worldwide acclaim. He has played 16 games for Lazio this season with two goals and five assists, and has averaged a pass success rate of 87.3%. He also won the Coppa Italia with Lazio two years ago. [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/a6/7e/isaac-success-of-granada_e3nj2ww623rr12qdzzds9670s.jpg?t=-740434892&w=320[/img] Isaac Success: The 19-year-old striker has scored three goals and has three assists for Granada this season in La Liga. He has so far averaged four shots on target and has won one man-of-the-match award. A powerful striker, the Nigerian likes to take defenders on with his pace and strength. [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Ghana/c1/e2/godfred-donsah-of-bologna_1aypepii59dn31r4ytcukire6a.jpg?t=-1519574928&w=320[/img] Godfred Donsah: He is called ‘The new Michael Essien’. The 19-year-old Ghanaian shares more than great energy levels and tenacity with the former Chelsea midfielder. He bombs forward for Bologna and contributes with goals and assists. The versatile midfielder is destined for great things and 2016 could be his year. [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/c7/e/bertrand-traore_rkdflr0mzthe1nm457diw0ig3.jpg?t=-993865839&w=320[/img] Bertrand Traore: The 20-year-old Burkina Faso international is a skilful left-footed dazzler, who combines impressive dribbling skills with great awareness and goals. He scored 17 on loan at Vitesse Arnhem last season and when you consider his 77.4 percent pass success per game, it makes for good reading. He could be one of those to turn Chelsea’s season around in 2016. [img]http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/Goal_Nigeria/9/3e/nigeria-u17-v-mexico-u17_15tn3ojxtrpgl1cth9x4v8fmml.jpg?t=-605749416&w=320[/img] Victor Osimhen: This lanky striker scored 10 goals for Nigeria at the Under-17 World Cup in Chile, and has been the subject of interest for several of Europe’s top clubs. He possesses a keen eye for goal, scoring one of every two shots on target. A pure goal scorer, Osimhen could be one of the breakout stars of the New Year. [/b] 1 Like |

The striker starred as the Super Eaglets won the U17 World Cup earlier this year, scoring 10 goals to finish with the Golden Bootas well as being named the second-best player at the tournament behind team-mate Kelechi Nwakali. And after being linked with a host of clubs including Manchester City and Tottenham, the forward has admitted that he has held talks with Wolfsburg. But teenager Osimhen insists he is going to hold out for a possible move to the Emirates Stadium and has hinted he is set to visit north London in the near future. "I spoke with the [Wolfsburg] coach who also made several promises and if I eventually choose to sign for them, I hope they’ll keep their word," he toldfootballlive.ng. "But I have not decided where to go yet because Arsenal are also showing strong interests and perhaps after my visit to the club, I will have a clear view of where I want to go." m.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/4102/transfer-zone/2015/12/24/18670752/arsenal-must-convince-me-nigerian-under-17-star-osimhen [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Amuneke wants new challenge By: Sammy Wejinya [/size]  Emmanuel Amuneke Nigeria’s Under-17 football team coach, Emmanuel Amuneke says he is “no longer interested” in training the Golden Eaglets.

He noted that he is not sure what his “next challenge” will be but is adamant it will not be with the Nigeria under-17s. “I have been in this category for years and to be honest I am not interested in continuing with the under-17s. “We have to be honest with ourselves. “One has to move forward and I am looking forward to the next challenge. “We will see what the future brings,” the trainer told Nigeria Info FM.

[b][size=14pt] FIFA clampdown stalls Arsenal's move for Nigerian younsters Biyi Akangbe [/size]  By: Imhons Erons The world football governing body's punishing hammer may stop the FA Cup champions from completing the signing of the teenagers before the January transfer window slams shut. According to reports, Arsenal have agreed deals to bring Nigerian youngsters Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze to the Emirates Stadium before the 1 February transfer deadline. The duo were members of the victorious Nigeria squad at the Under-17 World Cup in Chile last November. Although, the Daily Star claims that only work permits and visas are holding up the deal, it has emerged that the fear of FIFA's whip may be the biggest obstacle in the way of the deal. FIFA frowns on the movement of players under the age of 18 and threatens transfer bans on any found quilty, a clampdown that will affect any Arsenal transfer for the two youngsters. Nwakali is only 17 – he turns 18 in the summer. Chukwueze is 16. He doesn’t turn 18 until the summer of 2017. Barcelona recently served a one-year transfer ban for illegally signing players under the age of 18. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid also face being banned from signing players over the next two windows. While Arsenal are among a number of Premier League clubs to be investigated by Fifa. Arsenal are expected to pay £3million to the Diamond Football Academy in Umuahia, Nigeria for the pair if the move goes through. www.soccernet.com.ng/2016/01/fifa-clampdown-stalls-arsenals-move-for.html [/b] |

Seems Official: 1). Kelechi Nwakali will join Arsenal FC on a 4-yr deal with a medical to be done this friday. He's been granted a visa and work permit clearance. He'll initially team up with Arsenal's U-18s/U-19s/U-21s... It's reported he's asked for Kanu's jersey no (the no.25). #smiles Samuel "Robben" Chukwueze will join Arsenal's youth ranks in the coming month. 2). Victor Osimhen signs pro-deal with VFL Woflsburg on Jan.1 2017. Right now, there's a binding agreement (a kinda pre-pro deal) between Ultimate Strikers (his academy) and Wolfsburg on Osimhen. Also, there's an international co-operation agreement between Wolfsburg and Ultimate Strikers academy.

TheSuperNerd: Brilliant deal. Stellar group are the Shiznit. They are also handling Nacho. That is four bright Nigerian talents in their hands. The Stellar group are good, for them to get a work permit for Kelechi Nwakali. That means they would have secured a work permit for Osimhen. |

Sir Tbaba is right. Nwakali and Iheanacho are keen "special talent cases". Though Osimhen would have gotten through via special talent also because of the world goals record he holds at U-17 level. Osimhen just preferred Wolfsburg to Arsenal.... #smiles Anyway, I'm super glad for all these wondeful news. It's great for our football. And uhmm.... I believe Joel Osikel and John Enogela are also under the tutelage of Stellar group right? Last time I read about them they were among the four 2015 Eaglets taken under Stellar group's wings. If I'm right... That should make it 5 Bright Nigerian talents under Stellar's handling. TheGoodJoe: 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] CS Sfaxien Make New Move For Golden Eaglets Star Lukman Zakari [/size]  Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Tunisian Ligue 1 club CS Sfaxien have reignited their interest in Nigeria Under 17 international Lukman Zakari. A proposed move to the Juventus of the Arabs fell through in December due to the actions of rival agents, who approached the defender’s family with imaginary offers from English Premier League teams. In the coming days, the central defender and his bonafide intermediary will jet out to Tunisia to formalize his transfer to CS Sfaxien, with the player expected to append his signature to a preliminary contract that will be activated in December 2016. Portuguese club Boavista showed interest in Lukman Zakari after the Fifa Under 17s only for the youngster to reject the move. The Unity Academy star made seven appearances for the Golden Eaglets in Chile. www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=17857 [/b] 1 Like |
