komekn: Gent was lucky? What about Genk and Anderlecht , who both performed well in Europa... Gent got a 2:2 draw in white hart lane and beat spurs at home. I am sorry, i do not buy the luck story. It was not a one-off game. Over two legs, spurs did not do enough. Belgium is not a top 5 league but they are in the second group, That is not a back water league. 4 Likes |

Onyekuru getting a lot of attention, new report by skysports Who is Henry Onyekuru? We profile the Nigerian striker wanted by Arsenal By Michael Hincks Henry Onyekuru is attracting interest from a host of Premier League clubs, but what do we know about the striker? The 19-year-old looks set to move away from Belgium this summer, with Arsenal said to be in talks over a move for the KAS Eupen forward. The Nigerian is certainly a player in demand, with SSN HQ reporting last week that Everton, Southampton and West Bromwich Albion were also keen. Here, we take a closer look at the player with just a £6.8m release clause in his contract… Profile Name: Henry Onyekuru Age: 19 Born: Onitsha, Nigeria Position: Forward Club: KAS Eupen International recognition: First call-up for Nigeria on May 22 How good is he? Onyekuru ended the season strongly in Belgium, scoring 10 goals in 10 games during the play-off stage in the domestic league. And having scored 12 times during the regular season, Onyekuru missed out on the 'Golden Bull' to RSC Anderlecht forward Lukasz Teodorczyk, who scored more away goals that the Eupen striker. Onyekuru also scored twice in the Belgian Cup, finishing the season with 24 goals in 41 games. It was undoubtedly a breakthrough campaign for the teenager, though he did show promise in 2015-16, netting six times en route to Eupen's promotion to the top tier. The Nigerian recently lost out on the Young Player of the Year award in Belgium, finishing third behind Landry Dimata of Oostende and Anderlecht's Youri Tielemans. How was he discovered? Onyekuru moved from Nigeria to Senegal to join the Aspire Academy in 2010. The academy is the product of a Qatari-based initiative which aims to unearth a host of footballing talent across a number of developing countries. Eupen play a major role in this project. They have been owned by the ASPIRE Zone Foundation since 2012, and are seen as a stepping stone for players - such as Onyekuru - who dream of plying their trade in Europe's biggest leagues. Onyekuru himself moved to Eupen in July 2015, and he is currently one of three Nigerians in the squad - which also features players from Qatar, South Africa and Venezuela, to name but a few. Attracting interest Liverpool, Celtic and RB Leipzig were linked with Onyekuru earlier this season, but now Arsenal have emerged as favourites to land the forward. Sources close to the player said they were confident the forward would play in the Premier League next season, having already turned down moves to Belgian giants Brugge and Anderlecht. The interest coincides with a call-up to the Nigeria squad for upcoming friendlies against Corsica and Togo. A debut for the Super Eagles would certainly cap off a fine campaign for Onyekuru, but we must wait to discover where he'll be playing next season. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/10889862/who-is-henry-onyekuru-we-profile-the-nigerian-striker-wanted-by-arsenal?utm_source=&utm_medium=referral 1 Like |

ChrisKels:I like that word you used:Tremors. Truly the tectonic plates are already shaking. Maybe a volcano would erupt soon. Something just has to give. Did you read the observation by Ed Dove on the article about Onyekuru on the goal.com site? Drumbeats are heard in the distance and when the beats come close and louder, we'd be in the arena. Hope is a sweet thing even when it might fail. |

All this just to show that Belgium is a back water league.... According to Uefa, Belgium is no.9 in Europe... according to bleacher reports... it is no.13.. In one of my posts I said Belgium ranks between 12 to 14 in Europe based on rankings feeds I have been following for some time over the years..... And this is out of well over 45-50 leagues in Europe.... although Uefa have 55 full member national football associations. 13th out of 50... is back waters?? Abi?

I honestly will never get the concept of watching tournaments Nigeria is not involved in. It just vexes me to see other Africans in tourneys Nigeria doesn't qualify for and I always wish they crash out. I am not one of those One Africa people, so yeah, I hope every African nation in the U20 tourney crashes out at KO stage latest. Congrats to Zambia though, I tip them to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, maybe they and SA from SADC. Hopefully, this U20 set have not withered away by then 2 Likes |

safarigirl: Lol, that's how it is with me too but then I am aving my holiday at Osun state with a cousin of mine who unfortunately attends LAUTECH and due to the strike and the stable power supply here in osogbo. we find the Wc as a solace, (their street is ultra very boring). A tourney without Nigeria is not worth it as a Nigerian. I still wish Ghana never won the 2009 U20 Wc in Egypt, I wanted Nigeria to be the first African country to win it so I supported Brazil in that final. |

The only African nation I can ever support over Nigeria is Senegal, but even at that, it would have to be that Nigeria crashed out, not that we no qualify at all. I can't even watch highlights of tournaments we didn't qualify for, talk less an entire match.

safarigirl: yea. about that 2010 Wc I didn't even know Ghana made it to the Knock out, once we crashed out the Wc ended immediately for me. I only got to know later this year's u20 tourney is just there jare, I have watched all the matches so far yet I can't really pin point the best team, all of them are just on the Same level, while the rest are just a bit bellow. I don't even like how SA were the first African to host the world cup, I wish it was we. I'm still hoping we become the first to host any women WC on African soil me I don't have a second choice African teams in Fifa tourneys, once there is no Nigeria then the rest can do what they like NB: I always get and miss some mentions late if I am not quoted, this is because it's "danycrusoe" and not "dannycrusoe" I notice people uses the latter to call me out more, so take note first lady and others. thank u |

safarigirl:Kai! You wicked! @what you said to dannycrusoe. Mine goes back to Qatar u- 17 won by Ghana two years after we'd had won it in 93. Then Cameroun at Sydney Olympics 2000 where they won gold really pained me but I comforted myself with the fact that we were the first as in Atlanta 96. When Senegal defeated France at group stage in Korea/Japan 2002 I was pleased but omo, afterwards when I saw that they were waxing strong my morale low especially given the fact that we did not proceed beyond the group stage. E sweet me when their progress was halted by Turkey. Others were rooting for them as per Africa but not me. As for Ghana in 2010, I knew they were robbed but I felt remorseless. It must always be Niger ooo. |
