[b][size=14pt] Exciting Winger Adekanye Turns Super Sub For Liverpool After Return From Injury [/size]  Netherlands youth international Bobby Adekanye has impressed for Liverpool U18s since his return from a two-month injury layoff . The exciting winger scored in his first game against Derby County on October 22 after a spell on the sidelines and also notched an assist in the 5-1 win, having come off the bench before the start of the second half. Adekanye started on the bench again in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Sunderland at the Academy Ground on Saturday, and showed a glimpse of his potential when he came on in the 53rd minute. Ibadan-born Adekanye underwent a hernia operation in September and this kept him out of the Liverpool squad that tackled Stoke City, Middlesbrough, Everton, Newcastle United and West Brom in the U18 Premier League. A product of Barcelona, he joined Liverpool in the summer of 2015 from Dutch club PSV. Ifeanyi Emmanuel http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=20908 [/b] 1 Like |

Promising Teen Eze Scores Again For QPR In Loss To Charlton U23s  Charlton Athletic U23s continued their impressive start to the season with a 2-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers in the Professional Development League at the Valley on Monday afternoon. Though Joe Aribo was not in action for the Addicks, there was still Nigerian interest in the game with Ebere Eze starting for QPR, and he eventually played the full game. On 28 minutes, Eze equalized for the visitors when he picked up a loose ball before volleying past goalkeeper Phillips, and would have put his team 2-1 up in the 58th minute but saw his free-kick go wide. The attacking midfielder penned a one-year contract with Queens Park Rangers in the summer after he was declared surplus to requirement by Millwall at the end of last season. Ebere Eze has developed at QPR and will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Olamide Shodipo by playing for the first team of the London club.

Young Arsenal Defender Torn Between Playing For England And Nigeria Says Iwobi Is An Inspiration  Fast rising Arsenal defender Joseph Olowu says he is yet to make up his mind as to which nation he will represent between England and Nigeria at international level, as he approaches a crucial phase in his career. The six feet centre back who joined Arsenal at the age of 13 was born in England to Nigerian parents, making him eligible for both nations at international level. However he is yet to decide on which team he will represent when he is called up by either of the nations, but he made it clear that Nigerian forward Alex Iwobi has been an inspiration to him. ”My parents are from Nigeria and I am eligible to play for either Nigeria or England. I have not featured internationally yet but that may come. Alex Iwobi has really been an inspiration to me and to my team mate Tobi Omole who I also live with in digs in Cockfosters” He told Arsenal.com “He came through the Arsenal Youth system and is doing so well. He scored against Zambia in the World Cup qualifiers the other week and his name is growing and growing in African football. My dad has also noticed that there is a lot of attention being given to Toby and I in the African football forums which must in part also be due to how well Alex has been doing.” Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/11/04/young-arsenal-defender-torn-between-playing-for-england-and-nigeria-says-iwobi-is-an-inspiration/ 1 Like |

EXCLUSIVE: Boavista Beat SC Braga To Signing Of “Nigerian Benzema”, Invites Another Nigerian For Trial  Portuguese top division side Boavista have won the race for the signature of highly rated 18 year old Nigerian forward Taofiq Jibril, popularly called “Nigerian Benzema”. Taofiq was invited by SC Braga for trials as exclusively reported by Owngoalnigeria.com on the 19th of September, but while they were pondering on offering him a deal, Boavista stepped in and offered him one after trials. Boavista have agreed a deal in principle with his owners for a three year deal, which will be made official in January, after his fine performances during a period of trials with the club. A late omission from the Nigerian team that conquered the world at the World Youth Championship in 2015, he will be hoping to better the records of the Nigerian trio of Rueben Gabriel, Uche Nwofor and Michael Uchebo who were all released by the club in the summer. Meanwhile, another Nigerian has arrived Portugal in person of 18 year old Okolie Kenechukwu Charles, and will undergo trials in the coming weeks before a decision will be made on his possible signing. Just like Taofiq, Charles was spotted and groomed by popular and fast rising Kaduna based coach Chuba Shedrack, who played for the likes of Plateau United and Kaduna United during his playing days.

NFF DEFEND EAGLETS SUWON TOURNAMENT INCLUSION  The Nigeria Football Federation has explained why it decided that the U-17 National Team, Golden Eaglets, participate in the forthcoming 2016 U-19 Suwon Continental Cup tournament. General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, told thenff.com on yesterday that the Federation is encouraged to sustain the team’s momentum and prepare it for bigger challenges as a result of the series of examinations done to ascertain the fact they are truly U-17 players. “Apart from the tests conducted by the NFF, there was a medical team from CAF that subjected the players to another thorough examination. We are very sure the boys are U17 players and we must do everything to prepare them for bigger challenges, as they will constitute the next U20 team. “They showed naivety and a level of innocence in the way they approached the match in Niger Republic, and that was partly why they were intimidated out of the African qualifying series.” Sanusi assured that apart from the Suwon tournament, the NFF will keep the team busy in the coming year with a series of invitational tournaments and friendly matches, to get the players exposed and more matured for the qualifying series of 2019 Africa U20 Cup of Nations. A team of 22 players and 10 officials of the Golden Eaglets will depart Nigeria on Monday, 7th November for Korea Republic, for the U-19 Suwon Continental Cup. The Eaglets are scheduled to take on their counterparts from England on Wednesday, 9th November, play Iran the following day and tackle the host team (Korea Rep.) on Saturday, 12th November.

Ahead of Nigeria Under-17s participation in the Korea Invitational tournament, Owngoalnigeria.com Ahmed Ishaya list five prospects to watch out for when they take on England and Iran in the friendly tournament. 1. Adebayo Adeleke Described by coach Manu Garba as the best goalkeeper he has seen at youth level, since he came into the set up in 2005. Adeleke has cat like reflex, firm handling and above can start attack from the back with his near perfect distribution from the back. 2 Igoh Ogbu Vice captain of the newly assembled Under-17 team of Nigeria. The hard as nail defender is partly the reason why most of their games has ended in a clean sheet for the defence. Mobile, agile, and strong in tackles, Manu Garba rates him so highly to the extent of comparing him to former U-17 & 20 captain Musa Mohammed. 3. Nazifi Yahaya Crafty, smart and intelligent, the forward who was plucked from a Kano based academy has attributes in the box above his age. The striker scores at least a goal in two of four sessions since stealing the attention of the coaches in his first training session with the team, when he struck a hattrick. 4. Abdulrazak Isehq The Unity Academy of Kaduna midfielder is blessed with the rare gift of being able to hit correctly a 40 yard pass with both feet to release other players, neat in possession, enterprising and skillful. He is the one of the livewire of the team. 5. Abduljabar Sani Named captain of the team few days ago by coach Manu Garba. He is by far the most consistent player since the team was assembled, the G-Smart Academy prospect has the ability to create something out of nothing with his ability to wriggle out of tight situation with ease. http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/11/03/top-5-prospect-england-u-17s-should-dread-against-nigeria-u-17s-at-the-korea-invitational-tournament/ 1 Like |

Theophilus Solomon was tipped by Manu Garba to break into the Super Eagles before Kelechi Iheanacho. Hope the guy fulfills his potentials. I do not expect him to be in that league at this age 20. I wish his agent throws a search light on a league like Belgium or Italy. 1 Like

Haba!!! Dominic Solanke, Ovie Ejaria, Patrick Roberts, Josh Onomah, Ademola Lookman, haba naa!!! These are lads playing higher level football than our bunch of academy neonates.... Chaiiii.... Anyway shaa.... Na Nigeria do demselves... A bunch of neonate u-17s against "Experienced" and battle-hardened "U-19s/U-20s"... What were we expecting Tori olorun... What? This is humiliating! ...................................................................... Manu Garba-Led Nigeria U19s Suffer 8-1 Loss To England U20s  The Nigeria U19s suffered the worst ever defeat by a Nigerian youth team when they were battered 8-1 by England U20s in their opening game at the Suwon Continental Cup on Wednesday morning. The Young Lions opened scoring against the Manu Garba-led side in the 19th minute through Taylor Moore, before a brace from Adam Armstrong and a Dominic Solanke goal put them 4-0 up, but Nigeria managed to pull a goal back nine minutes before the end of the first half. Two minutes out of intermission, Callum Connolly and Patrick Roberts registered their names on the scorecard for England U20s to increase the lead to 6-1. Adam Armstrong bagged his hat-trick in the 70th minute and Roberts scored again with two minutes remaining to bring the scoreline to 8-1. Next up for Nigeria in the competition is a game against Iran before they wrap up group play against hosts South Korea. Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=21017 1 Like |

TheSuperNerd:Very good exposure for the young lads. What is most important is the education from this journey. |

TheGoodJoe: Very good exposure.  Yes u are right. They have been exposed. This is what happens when u go for an U19 tourney with U16 players. With all the exposures and experience Solanke, Onomah, Edjaria and co have gotten they are still part of this tourney bc they see it as a "developmental" opportunity and not jst an exposure opportunity. I always say it that development starts at U19. It is not even about winning the trophy. This tourney is going to do more harm than good to those boys. Una say " age does not matter in football". Ok na. |

TheSuperNerd: They understand the importance of an U19 team. See the players they paraded. Our own na to expose players. We should have used this tourney to assess our U20 players since they will not participate in the next WYC. Development starts at U19 & the Europeans know this. They dnt joke with an U19 tourney bc that is where they pick new players for the senior team. 1 Like |
