Apparently Osimhen is not the only Nigerian on Napoli's books. There's a Italian-Nigerian forward called Michael Folorunsho in their ranks. He's about to leave the club though maybe on loan.

Aston Villa are trying to beat Tottenham Hotspur to the signature of Northampton Town's Nigeria-eligible striker Caleb Chukwuemeka, according to reports.

Football Insider has claimed that Aston Villa have hijacked Tottenham Hotspur's bid to sign the 19-year-old.

The sale of Jack Grealish to Manchester City has added funds to Aston Villa's transfer kitty, with the Premier League champions splashing close to 100m pounds to sign the England star.

Tottenham Hotspur were previously in pole position to sign Chukwuemeka and were prepared to include another Nigeria-eligible teenager Kion Etete as makeweight in the proposed deal taking the Northampton Town starlet to north London.

While Etete has completed a loan move to the Cobblers, Spurs and Villa are battling it out for the services of Chukwuemeka.

Caleb could follow the pathway of his sibling Carney Chukwuemeka who was at the Northampton Town academy before he was snapped up by Aston Villa in 2016.

Since making his senior debut for the Cobblers, Caleb Chukwuemeka has scored two goals in 28 appearances and has an assist to his name.

Niceone.
They did good.
I saw their Street parade today at yenagoa.
It's such a lovely sight to see.

Karlovych:
A Pan-Africanist with only one African amongst his heroes, the other 3 are Americans and a Jamaican. Whether you like it or not players good enough to represent Nigeria will always be approached and called up regardless of their place of birth

I forgot Patrice Lumunba. By the way , if you are familiar with the ideologies of the the black Americans I listed then you wouldn't be questioning my stance. They see themselves primarily as Africans....like Bob Marley.

IDENNAA:

It's not about how they see themselves, is Usain Bolt African? or go and tell someone like Jay Z he is African

charlesemeka85:
Looking forward to hv the below listed players in the super eagles soon

Calvin Bassey--Glasgow rangers lb

Alhassan Yusuf--royal antwep cm

Lesley Ugochukwu--rennes cdm

Frank onyeka--brentford cdm (have been capped but his move to the epl will make a case for his recall to the team)

Good one how about Olise and Noni

humility33:


Good one how about Olise and Noni

We can have both only time will tell

charlesemeka85:


We can have both only time will tell

Yeah wish we can try lure them with afcon and world cup. Both are perfect AMs to provide competition for Iwobi and step up nwakali

Noni can always cuts in from the right. He said he plays 10 prior coming to PSV

AndSunGorilla:

Shouldn't he be deputising for Ndidi? I thought Onyeka is more of a DM and the last time we played him as a CDM, he wasn't able to do well.

we should not judge him with just one game Sha like we did to Tony Nwakeame

IDENNAA:



Without mincing words I want you to understand from this juncture that I am a very strong Pan Africanist , who believe that we must put Africa first in everything we do. If my heroes are persons like Thomas Sankara , Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey and Louis Farakhan then you should save yourselves the headache of engaging me. I am so deeply African its unbelievable!

Now , to address this thing you wrote: I still don't understand your Osimhen and co examples.... What exactly are you trying to prove. Osimhen is a gifted Nigerian player who was contracted by Napoli. I am confused; what is the lesson ?

I still maintain my position on the foreign born. They add nothing to SE , rather they are using us to sell themselves to European clubs while our own are languishing in the Europe third world countries. Balogun , Ekong , Ebuehi and Aina has benefited from playing for SE, yet they havent won even a plastic cup. Aribo is over hyped by ROHR and has not added anything to the team...Nwakali is miles ahead of him. Iwobi is still learning how to play a 10 since he started playing for us. He can be easily replaced....he isn't better that Onyekuru.

These foreign born use us as last resort...and that's shameful. They will never touch a Nigerian woman with a long pole, they do not invest in Nigeria and will never return home. So, whats the point ? I am sorry , but I will not apologize for thinking highly of my mothers land.

You want to rush and cap players in europe academies while we have talents littered across Nigeria who are a million times better than these crappy English boys.


But , you write a lot of senseless shiiit ooo....did you say we refused to get the best FB and settled for mediocre. You must not have been following recent happening....Abraham rejected Nigeria and mocked us openly , Saka rejected Nigeria , Eze rejected us , Torunarigha rejected us...No high flying foreign born will ever agree to play for Nigeria. They mostly marry oyibo or mixed....these ppunks feel our women are inferior !

Your entire choice of words is disconcerting, Idennaa, my good man.

Just look at your last sentence, it transcends the conventions of football and sums up your septic reasoning.

This isn't Pan-Africanism as you allege, brother; this is a toxic mentality.

You don't bring others down to exalt your kind. I am genuinely worried about your state of mind.

No am not saying he shouldn't be invited, but if he's invited, he shouldn't be played out of position. Especially because someone already clamored for him to replace Etebo who will also be playing in the EPL.

Even if he replace etebo as a CM he will do better than etebo so no need to fear as regard that for now we have got Aribo ahead of etebo

Worrying about his state of mind is you being kind with words, am more concerned with his mental state.

Like how IDENNAA has been polluting this thread since yesterday with his insipid analogy way of argument is something have been finding difficult to take, your opinions are so vague, filled with hatred and lopsidedness.

I managed to tolerate it last week, am not ready to take same this week, please IDENNAA rest alittle bit let others comment maybe in the weekend you can come again. After a stressful day at work with hope of reading a well research and articulated information from people like the Lonecitizen, Andrew444 Thesupernerd and the rest then you end up with some nitwit who call them self pan africanist

haba I no talk like that buh said he is one to look out for

Atleast I got some right like Alhassan moving to antwep, onyeka to brentford, ebuehi to Venezia, etebo to Watford etc

charlesemeka85:
Bia this abia state man lemme ooooo I dey post news as I see online

I need news on Isaac Success and Tom Dele Bashiru. I really have high hopes on that Bashiru boy. He, Nwakali and Alhassan are the three I’m tipping to assume the eagles CM mantle

nothing on bashiru for now buh may leave on loan to a championship side

Success wants to remain at Watford an does not fancy moving to udinese that wants him on loan

ChrisKels:


Is he still better than Nwakali?

baba I am not yet convinced for Nwakali yet to he honest . Did well for alcoron which was one of the worst laliga 2 sides last season buh to me that's not enough. Let's hope he stakes a claim in huesca's 1st 11 this coming season

For now Nwakali tops zubairu

ChrisKels:

to he honest Nwakali and Bashiru re outsider for now. No be say na hate but I am just been sincere

I think the emergence of Alhassan and onyeka hv pushed them down the pecking order

maidaboi:
if he do better than Etebo in EPL

I know he will likely do better but let's watch out

This one that most of our players in italy and England are in relegation bound team or struggling team fears me same with thosw in France too
