[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria Premier League 2015/2016 Arsenal Iwobi battles Bellerin for Arsenal Young Player of Season [/size]  Nigeria and Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi Alex Iwobi’s remarkable debut season for Arsenal keeps getting better as he has now been nominated for the Young Player of the Season award alongside Joel Campbell, Hector Bellerin and Jeff Reine-Adelaide. Iwobi made his full debut for Arsenal last October in a league cup fixture against Sheffield United and has since gone on to feature 12 times in the Premier League, starting the last seven games and scoring two goals. He also got some games under his belt in the Champions League, starting in the Round of 16 clash with Barcelona at the Nou Camp. He has equally gone on to make his official debut for Nigeria, playing in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt. He has also been nominated for the Arsenal goal of the month for April. africanfootball.com/news/627436/Iwobi-battles-Bellerin-for-Arsenal-Young-Player-of-Season [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria 2016 Olympics - Men Football Nigeria U23 Iheanacho or Iwobi - Who has made the bigger impact? [/size]  Iheanacho (left) and Iwobi by Samm Audu Manchester City's Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi from Arsenal are two of Nigeria’s most exciting young talents who have shone on their breakthrough debut season in the English Premier League. Both youngsters could now come face-to-face on Sunday when their clubs step up their quest to play Champions League football next season. The question now is – who has made the bigger impact this season? Both have broken into the first-team of their English clubs, have been capped at full international level by Nigeria and could well feature at the Rio Olympics in August. After proving his class in the youth ranks of City, Iheanacho has now scored 13 goals in all competitions for his big-spending, star-studded club. Seven of those goals were in the EPL with the others in cup games. A further breakdown of the goals showed Iheanacho was on target in the win over Stoke City (4-0), Swansea (2-1) and Crystal Palace (1-0). He famously announced himself in the Premier League when he came off the bench to grab late-gasp winner at Crystal Palace in September. In January, he netted his first-hat-trick for City in an FA Cup tie at Aston Villa. The graduate from the Taye Academy in Owerri made his Super Eagles debut in November after representing Nigeria at U17 and U20 levels. Like Iheanacho, Iwobi has also come through the ranks at Arsenal, where he has been since the age of seven. A year older, the 20-year-old forward has been less prolific than his compatriot with two goals for Arsenal in the league. His goals have come in wins against Watford and Everton. Iwobi, who has featured for various England age-group teams, is a team player who has provided two assists for the London Gunners. He has made a dozen appearances in the league as well as featured in the UEFA Champions League, starting in the crucial clash at Barcelona. He is also a Nigeria international after his debut against DR Congo in a friendly in October. Arsenal are well known for blooding their youngsters and so it has only been the norm that Iwobi will get his chance at The Emirates as long as he has proved himself at the various levels. But Iheanacho has had to within a short time adapt to a new culture both on and off the pitch at the club, who believe more in working with established stars, to take his chance at City. The numbers clearly showed that Iheanacho has played a bigger role for star-studded City this season, but what if Iwobi were to rise to the occasion and score the match winner to cement Arsenal’s Champions League place on Sunday? City are on 64 points and will need to win at The Etihad on Sunday to topple Arsenal in third place. africanfootball.com/news/627429/Iheanacho-or-Iwobi-Who-has-made-the-bigger-impact [/b] 1 Like |

'The Reds' were 2-0 winners over 'The Hornets' at Anfield on Sunday and Ojo was largely impressive in the win, a development which has drawn commendation from the Liverpool boss. “Ojo, everybody saw already what a wonderful player he is,” said Klopp to the Liverpool website. The 18-year-old got a rare start for Liverpool and was a handful for the Watford defence with his pace and trickery and Klopp said he believes the youngster made good use of the rare opportunity to start. “We had to give them the opportunity and they took it. They took the chance,” he added. Ojo started his career with MK Dons, before signing for Liverpool, where he has now made six Premier League appearances this season. Although he has represented England at junior levels, he remains eligible for Nigeria. http://africanfootball.com/news/627691/Liverpool-boss-praises-wonderful-Sheyi-Ojo [/b] 1 Like |

The draw means Arsenal stay in third place on 68 points from 37 matches, while City are on 65 minutes with rivals Manchester United breathing down their necks for UEFA Champions League football next season. Both Iheanacho and Iwobi started this EPL clash. Iwobi was very much involved in the game in the first half, defending and pushing forward, but in the second half he faded. Theo Walcott replaced Iwobi after 59 minutes. Iheanacho had a chance to score half way through the second half, but he was too selfish after he ended a long solo run towards Arsenal goal with a poor attempt at goal. He gave way to Raheem Sterling in the 71st minute. http://africanfootball.com/news/627678/Iheanacho-Iwobi-all-square-in-Nigeria-brothers-clash [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Iheanacho's goal nominated, praises Manchester City fans [/size]  Manchester City Striker Kelechi Iheanacho Kelechi Iheanacho’s second goal against Stoke City has been nominated for the Manchester City Goal of the Month for April just as the Nigeria youngster has praised the club’s fans. Iheanacho scored twice in the month under review, both goals coming in the 4-0 win over Stoke City on the 23rd. It is the second of his goals from that game that has been nominated for goal of the month. The 19-year old received a pass from Wilfried Bony and went past two Stoke defenders before rounding goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard. However, he has seven other players and nine other goals nominated against his own. The Nigeria international has had breakthrough season with the club, scoring 13 goals in all competitions, seven of those in the Premier League, and also scored twice en-route to lifting the League Cup in February. City have also had their best run in the Champions League this season, getting to the semifinal before being eliminated by Real Madrid last Wednesday, but have had an inconsistent run in the Premier League. Iheanacho said he is grateful to the fans for the support they have shown the team, calling on them to continue the support in their final games of the season. “The fans are very, very important - they cheer us on,” he told the City website. “On Wednesday night they were far away in a big stadium but still we could hear them shouting us on loudly, giving us their support. We are very proud of them. We are very sorry that we couldn’t qualify for the final but we will come back stronger for them. “The fans have been great to us this season. They have been cheering us on right from the very beginning. We need them behind us again in these two games in order to get into the Champions League next season. The supporters are really great and they have been especially great this season.” The 19-year-old has been one of City’s best performers this season in what is his only first top-flight campaign, and he has so much gratitude to the fans, who he said have treated him very well. “They treat me like one of their own and it is a great feeling. It is a great feeling when I hear them sing my name in the stands and I’m very happy when I hear that from them,” he said. “We will look to keep doing well and make them proud.” City host Arsenal this afternoon at the Etihad in their last home game of the season and Iheanacho is expected to play some part. http://africanfootball.com/news/627601/Iheanacho-s-goal-nominated-praises-Manchester-City-fans [/b] 1 Like |

It was Umar’s seventh goal for the club this season, and he went on to see out the game. Meanwhile, his compatriot at the club, Raheem Lawal, started but was withdrawn after 46 minutes.

The man who scored Nigeria U-23s lone goal in a shock 1-0 friendly win over their Brazilian counterparts in Rio will travel to Israel soon to complete the deal with the transfer window set to open on the 16th of May in Israel and Akwa United are expected to release his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) once the transfer becomes official. Maccabi Haifa will most likely play in the Europa League next season as thay are presently fourth on the league table and also through to the final of the Israeli cup where they will take on Maccabi Tel Aviv on the 24th of May. Managed by Ouziel David, neither the player nor his intermediary could be reached by us regarding the recent development.

They have started singing his praises TheSuperNerd can you tell me the reason why am smiling [b][size=14pt] Ugbade: Iheanacho Deserves Man City Success [/size]  By James Agberebi: Former Nigeria international Nduka Ugbade has described Kelechi Iheanacho’s debut season in the English Premier League as a success. After impressing in Manchester City’s pre-season games, Manuel Pellegrini decided to promote Iheanacho into the first team. And the 19-year-old has gone on to repay the manager’s faith in him by scoring seven goals in 25 league appearances. In a chat with Completesportsnigeria.com, Ugbade pointed out that Iheanacho’s ability to execute whatever instructions given to him by his manager has aided his progress. “He (Iheanacho) has been very wonderful, a success for Manchester City this season,” Ugbade told Completesportsnigeria.com. “And the reason for this is when a young lad is educated on the best tactics on the pitch, that is according to the science that governs the game, you don’t expect anything less than this. “The same thing applies to players like Wilfred Ndidi in Belgium and Jide Idowu who is in the United States. A lot of them are doing well. So I don’t expect anything less from Iheanacho, he has been very wonderful.” Read more at http://www.completesportsnigeria.com/ugbade-iheanacho/#Qb4ixYt1hEHg3jlS.99 [/b] |

terzurum5: Kenneth Otigba was pleased to learn that he could be months away from making his international debut for Nigeria, with the NFF stating that the Heerenveen stopper will be handed a call up once they receive clearance from Fifa. “I am very happy of course even if I am a little in the picture. I know if I do my very best, and I keep on playing games in my team I will get a chance to show myself. I think the ball is in FIFA's court. His clearance will come. The NFF have accepted him. Let us wait for his clearance and he will get his call up. His wait is almost over. I think the NFF deserves praise for their steps in securing him. 1 Like |
