Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that former Nigeria U20 captain Ikouwem Udo has ended his association with Israeli club Maccabi Haifa.

Croatian top-flight side NK Slaven Belupo are set to announce the signing of Udo on a permanent deal.

The promising left-back passed his physical examination with flying colours, paving the way for him to sign a two-year deal that will keep him at NK Slaven Belupo until the end of the 2022-2023 season.

Udo's transfer to Maccabi Haifa did not go as planned as he struggled to break into the first team, making only two starts during his stint with the Greens.

And as a result, the former Enyimba star was loaned out to Bnei Sakhnin for the whole of last season.

Udo was one of the Flying Eagles players that left with his reputation intact after their dismal performance at the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup, leading to his nomination for the prestigious Golden Boy.

NK Slaven Belupo, who are ninth in the HNL table after seven matches, travel to Rijeka in their first game after the international break on September 11.
SMH, they promised us this guy would be on of the greatest lb we’ve ever seen, see him struggling to play for backwater clubs

The former Danish champions are set to repeat the same template that has brought them financial success in recent times

Taking to their official website, FC Midtjylland have announced the capture of 18-year-old dynamic midfielder Gabriel Kehinde Victor from FC Ebedei in Nigeria.

Revealing why the Wolves decided to bring the teenager to Denmark, the club’s deputy sports manager Ove Pedersen noted that Gabriel has a “dynamic midfield engine with good technique and a strong physical package.


“He must be trained for European football, but we fully believe that together we can realize his great potential.”

Gabriel is expected to team up with Midtjylland’s u-19 side initially.

The youngster will look to follow in the footsteps of illustrious compatriots who joined Midtjylland from their sister club in Nigeria before achieving success in Europe.



Genk striker Paul Onuachu and Brentford’s midfielder Frank Onyeka arrived in Denmark as teenagers from FC Ebedei and are now among the most recognisable Super Eagles stars in Europe.

Midtjylland got them for next to nothing but allowed Onuachu to join the Smurfs for €6 million in 2019 and sanctioned Onyeka’s switch to the Bees this summer for €10 million.

The team was divided to two, A & B.

Team A:

Uzoho
Aina
Tyrone
Balogun
Ekong
Ndidi
Etebo
Simon
Musa
Kalu
Moffi.

Team B:

Akpeyi
Shehu
Adeleke
Omeruo
Valentine
Kingsley
Bonke
Iheanacho
Osimhen
Onyekuru
Ejuke.

Team B defeated Team A, 3-2 in the practice game.

Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice while Victor Osimhen scored the third for the victorious Team B.

Moffi & Kalu were Team A goals scorers.

Iheanacho and Osimhen formed a terrific partnership in the final third.

The two goalkeepers in training today, Uzoho and Akpeyi had a decent performance, they made some beautiful saves.

Uzoho with a double saves to keep the result decent for Team A.

Akpeyi also made a late save to keep his team victory.

So after all the noise, no moves for Paul Onuachu and Sadiq Umar? Yet they wanna rep the eagles in big tourneys? Who would overlook Awoniyi banging it in, in the Bundesliga, and maybe a Dessers running a show with Feyenord in the Eredivisie for some segunda striker like Sadiq and a Belgian league striker like Onuachu? Some of these our players dey mumu. Onuachu and Ike Ugbo na dem mumu pass. Ike Ugbo's reason for leaving Chelsea was that he wants to rep the eagles in Qatar, yet he went to Genk while the smarter striker realized the mistake he made last summer then left Genk for Feyenord.

Next call ups now, Awoniyi would be more deserving of an invite than Onuachu, and na like that Onuachu go say bye-bye to his world cup dreams.

And this pic summarises it all. Nice spot Jide wink

I understand Kingsley Michael is balling very good in camp and impressing. He starred for the winning Team B also. He may not have fully earned his invite but the talent is obviously there and I hope he proves himself in the GWG on matchday proper. Hopefully a few others just as talented and balling good get their chances in the long run. We need more quality MF options.

Yeah you are right. Add to that the possibility of Simmy getting another 20 goals in the Italian league and things
will become more dificult.
HOWEVER
Style of play and interest of coach can come into play.
Sometimes coaches select players because they blend into their formation or
their style of play is effective. As in maurinho's time in Chelsea, he prefered players like
Drogba and essein not necesarly because they were the best in the world but because they fitted into his formation.
I personally will prefer Umar because of his creativity but Im not the coach
and i dont know how he thinks or his idea.
BUT
MEAN THIS GENERATION IS PRODUCING TOO MANY STRIKERS.
NOW EVERY SEASON A NEW STRIKER IS COMMING UP TO DO ONE WONDER OR THE OTHER

He is still out for now but he's been doing some gym work and light training in order to stay fit and get back into top physical conditioning and up his fitness state.

He needs a bit more time before he returns hence no rush to have him back.

This is him (below) in recovery training as at July 27. A month and 4 days have passed since then, so he is on track for a return in the near future.

SuperNerd
Ill be honest with you converting african am to dm
is pure Rascism and bias.
It is just social bias and a norm that Africans are not seen as
been able to play as attacking midfielders or creative players
We cannot eradicate rascism and bias completely from human society
It also happens in American football where blacks are seen as not been
able to play the quater-back position.

Zaidu Sanusi's problems in Porto are also somewhat rascist
Maybe if he changes his name to Carlos Alena
and lie that his mother was Brazilian they will accept him.
Even his name is too ras for the Porto fans to like.

Yeah. I think Uzoho and his management team has a destination in mind coz he obviously bought off his own contract judging by the info below.
But they retain certain rights in case Uzoho makes the WC squad. Meaning they will be compensated by FIFA like every other club will when their players go to the WC proper.


In all, time will tell where Uzoho plays his 21/22 season ahead of the Afcon and WC. Possibly looking to upgrade from Cyprus.

Kingsley Michael, DM kwa? One day we go hear say Napoli don convert Osihmen to DM.
Meanwhile, going forward all these hyped transfer speculations we give to our players should stop.
Imagine some of speculations we had
1. Onuachu - Lyon, Westham, Arsenal
2. Sadiq - Bayern Munich, Sevilla
3. Ndidi - Manchester United, PSG, Juventus
4. Moffi - Dortmund, Inter
5. Nwakali - Leads
Among other unrealistic speculations.
Truth is, most of our players are Average and below average they lack ball confidence especially Ndidi, there's nothing special about his play, no need to dey hype.

Don't make me laugh

Anosmia and Aguesia are rare symptoms you will see in Malaria or typhoid if at all you will see it.
With the rate at which people are having both with cough I don't know why you will still think it is false oo.
Basically Covid 19 will present with one or more of
1.Cough
2. Cattarh
3.Sore throat
4. Loss of smell
5. Loss of taste
6. Erectile dysfunction (yes)
7. Joint pain
8. General weakness.

If you have 3 or more of this together it is better you go for the test


You can laugh, it's allowed, the key word is Rare, but it's not rule out, or why do you think some people with fever/typhoid, died,

And even before the vaccine was produced, we had been record low deaths, and high recovery rates,

And don't give me that senseless talk, about our heat, cos to much heat/sun is also a cause for Fever

And from all your >point listed, only 6 is out of place, the rest are symptoms of fever/typhoid
