Alex Iwobi Voted Arsenal Third Best Player In April
[/size]

Nigeria international Alex Iwobi has missed out on Arsenal’s Vitality Player of the Month award for the second straight month .

The attacking midfielder finished third in the voting behind Egypt international Mohamed Elneny, who picked up the accolade in March, and Chile star Alexis Sanchez.

Elneny got 40.2 percent of the combined votes, Alexis gained 32.3 percent while Iwobi was next with 16.3 percent of the votes.


In April, Iwobi made six straight starts for Arsenal in the Premier League, racked up 448 minutes of game time in the process, and was on target against Watford (April 2) and notched two helpers the following weekend against West Ham.

The 20-year-old has been called up to the Nigeria squad for the upcoming friendlies against Mali and Luxembourg.

Rio Olympics Ambition Threatens Musa’s Leicester Link
[/size]

By Johnny Edward:

Leicester City's interest in CSKA Moscow striker Ahmed Musa may hit the rocks following the player's ambition to feature as one of the overaged players in Nigeria's squad at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in Brazil, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.


The Foxes who are just two wins from lifting the 2015/16 English Premier League title, Completesportsnigeria.com gathered, will revive their interest in the CSKA Moscow striker who has scored 12 goals in 32 games this season.


The 23-year-old was a target for Claudio Ranieri in January, but Leicester failed to match CSKA's asking price of £20million for the Nigeria international.


"Its a big 'if' on whether he will move in the summer because he has expressed his desire to represent Nigerian at the Olympics which Leicester may not really agree with," a source close to the player told Completesportsnigeria.com.


"But once a concrete offer has been tabled, that will be discussed."

Leicester had two bids rejected by CSKA Moscow in January, but will hope to strike a compromise at around £18m for Musa in the coming weeks.

Musa can also add Champions League experience, something lacking in Ranieri's exciting squad ahead of next season. ​

Success won the Granada player of the season. That's impressive.

We need to get Iwobi, Success and Iheanacho playing together. I believe they can build a dynamic connection.

Nigeria U23s Netminder Emmanuel Daniel Concedes Three Goals As Rangers Lose
[/size]

A sparkling first half performance by Rivers United set the tone for a comprehensive 3-1 victory over Enugu Rangers in an exciting Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) game decided at the Yakubu Gowon (former Port Harcourt Liberation) Stadium on Sunday.


United were seemingly on the ropes before the contest with no less than five of their first team players unavailable either through suspension or injury.


In the absence of trusted personnel which included the club’s top scorer, Chinonso Okonkwo, United produced their best performance of the season as they dispatched the highly-rated Flying Antelopes with a barn-storming display.


United showed their intent early on when Chigozie Ihunda was presented with a one-on-one opportunity in the ninth minute following a shocking defensive error by Okey Odita.


The right back-turned auxiliary forward however opted to chip the goalkeeper, Emmanuel Daniel rather than go for power and the effort sailed harmlessly wide.

The home fans did not have to wait too long for the opening goal though and it arrived in the 17th minute.

Ihunda was upended in the box and Bernard Ovoke stepped up to dispatch the spot kick in cold-blooded fashion.

Four minutes later, the hosts were two goals to the good and the effort by Christian Weli will be talked about for many days to come.


The Rivers United midfielder picked up the ball about 30 yards out on the left and with the unsuspecting Rangers rear guard expecting a slow build up, Weli let fly from the outrageous distance and found the top left hand corner of Emmanuel Daniel’s goal.

The home fans went wild as they celebrated the effort which will definitely be in contention for goal-of-the-season.

United were flying and added a third goal-yet another out of the top drawer-on the stroke of half time, to virtually end the game as a contest.


A flowing team move which involved four United players was finished off, left footed by Ovoke, who fired into the roof of the Rangers net as the shell-shocked visitors struggled to contemplate what had hit them.


Rangers were to claim a consolation two minutes after the restart in fortuitous fashion with Olalekan Gabriel inadvertently diverting a cross from the right past Sunday Rotimi and into the United goal.

The two sides traded chances afterwards but the hosts always looked the likelier of the two sides to add to their tally.

Ofem Inah’s cross, with seven minutes remaining, was met by an Ihunda header which clattered against the post with Daniel beaten.


Rangers stay top of the standings with 27 points from 14 matches despite the defeat in Port Harcourt while United moved up to sixth with 22 points from 14 matches.

I think Watford are preparing for life without Ighalo.

Besides, Clubs usually have at least 3 natural CF.
So even if Ighalo remains there is still plenty of opportunities for Success to feature as Watford would be involved in so many competitions.

Could be that Watford are increasing their attacking options by the inclusion of Isaac Success in their squad. Could also be that the long term plan for Success is for him to take over from Ighalo cos even if Ighalo doesn't leave this season and he repeats this kind of performance next season bigger clubs will surely swoop him away from Watford.



No matter which way, it would be a good transfer move for the young lad.

Pavarotti:

tbaba1234:
From a Nigerian stand-point, EPL will give Success more visibility. He will almost certainly be a starter in Watford.

Nigerians watch more EPL than liga so his exploits will be recognised.

However, I do not know if it will be the best from a development perspective.

Icon4s:


He is by far Arsenal's most improved player for the season.

Not true. Bellerin is by far the most improved Arsenal play. Iwobi has shown if given the chance he will do well but the season didn't start in February, it started in September and Bellerin has been impressive since then.

amagunnerfan:
Leicester City will be hypocrites if they because of the Olympics not sign Musa. Does it mean they won't release any of their players if they are invited for their national teams?

Icon4s:


Bellerin's improvement was more remarkable last season (2014/2015) where he permanently displaced Mathew Debuchy.
Bellerin's improvement for this season can not be comapared with last season. Infact his performances in our last 5-6 matches have been average.
If u recall how Iwobi started this season, he was initially a CapitalOne Cup or FA Cup sub. But presently Alex Iwobi has broken into the starting lineup of Arsenal. He is now ahead of the likes of Joel Campbel, Oxlade Chmberlain and Theo Walcot. Displacing these 3 Arsenal horses is no mean achievement more so for a player that just got promoted and started the season as sub in Cup matches.

Iheanacho started the season ahead of Iwobi in terms of rating but just in April Iwobi was rated as the second best young player in the EPL just behind Marco Rashford.

Alex Iwobi is the most improved Arsenal player for the 2015/2016 season.

Icon4s:


Could be they really need him in the preseason's camping for him to integrate into the team's philosophy early enough.

I personally prefer Musa to stay away from the Olympics and tidy up his Leicester move.

amagunnerfan:
I want Musa to join the Foxes. I really want it. However, the Olympics be good for him as well.

amagunnerfan:
on second thought I think I agree but if Wenger does what I am hearing he will do this summer , unless we go far in the cups, forget it, Iwobi's chances will be limited.

Petrobros:


There are some people on this thread that you will hardly win arguments against .

Next time back up ur arguments with "Technical facts" before disputing anyone here.

Icon4s:


What is Wenger cooking this summer?

Icon4s:


We need him more at Leicester than at the Olympics.
The way Leicester plays will really suit Musa's style of play. We need our Super Eagles players to play in competitive leagues and the EPL would be a good one for Musa and Nigeria would really benefit from it.

As for the Olympics team, we will not miss Musa if players like Moses Simon, Alex Iwobi and Stanley Dimgba would be available. Oghenekaro Etebor and Kelechi Iheanacho are also deadly from the wings. Isaac Success and Imoh Ezekiel have also shown they can perform creditably well from the wings. So let us spare that over aged winger slot for a more critical position like the DMF or CB.

amagunnerfan:
Heard Walcott is out, Mahrez been worked on, Giroud, Sturridge been worked on, Per and Gabriel to the bench, Bentia been worked on.

Note my source I quite reliable but has been wrong before.

He owns a big news aggregator, the second bigget soccer aggregator in the world. I am his writer and editor.

Not revealing his name .

Do you realise I am a man? I don't argue to win. I argue to get educated or educate .
