Failed Arsenal Target “Nigerian Robben” Chukwueze Rejoins FC Porto Ahead Registration For UEFA YOUTH LEAGUE (UYL)  Nigeria youth international Samuel Chukwueze will in the coming days return to Portuguese giants FC Porto to properly start his career as a player of the team. Nicknamed “Nigerian Robben” , he returned back to Nigeria after spending few months in Portugal with the U-18 of the Portuguese giants, where he will team up with another Nigerian Moses John, who is also with the U-18s. He will turn professional on the 22nd of May (next year) but he is eligible to be registered by the team for their UEFA youth league campiagn, which is part of the reason why he is returning back to Portugal. Chukwueze was one of the shining lights for Nigeria at the 2015 U-18 World Youth Chanpionship, which Nigeria won in Chile and he was also one of the few positives in the ill fated attempts by the U-20s to qualify for next year Africa youth championship. English Premiership giants Arsenal were close to signing him but the move broke down due to disagreements over his actual valuation in terms of transfer fee.

Nigeria Revive U15s To Stop USA From Luring SuperKid Omidiji Jnr, Who Could Be Named Captain  The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has concluded plans to revive the Nigeria U15’s, a move many view as a way of keeping hold of some promising Nigerian teen born in the diaspora particularly Lateef Omidiji Jnr. FC Dordrecht teen sensation Omidiji jnr is rated as one of the top prospects in European football among players of his age, with some even claiming he is highly rated than 13 year old Scottish wonder-kid Karamoko Dembele. It is widely believed that he will be named captain of the Nigerian team when assembled later in the year, as a means of keeping him away from the clutches of other nations. Omidiji Jnr qualifies to represent the Netherland and USA aside Nigeria, and only recently USA stole a march on Nigeria by calling him up to their U-14s for a training camp. In what looked like a swift response, a top brass of the NFF told Owngoalnigeria.com, that preparations towards reviving the country’s U-15s is well and truly underway, and they are expected to play some games in December. Coach Danladi Nasidi who handles the country’s U15 will be briefed about the recent development by the NFF before the end of the next month.

Arsenal Loanee Nwakali Dazzles, Wins Penalty As Loan Side Secure Comeback Win In Five Goal Thriller  Former Nigeria U17 and 20 captain Kelechi Nwakali was among the best players for his loan side MVV Maastricht as they recovered from losing their lead and going behind to beat Fortuna Sittard 3-2. On loan from Arsenal till the end of the season, the 18 year old won the spot kick from which his side took the lead in the 29th minute, after he was upended in the box after a strong run. He twice came close to scoring with efforts that brought out strong saves from the opposition goalkeeper as his side pushed to put the game to bed. Nwakali lasted the entire duration of the game, bossing and dictating play from his role on the left side of midfield for his team who ran out 3-2 winners, and remain top of the second division table in Holland. Voted as the Most Valuable Player of the last U-17 World Cup, his recent fine form will no doubt interest the Arsenal hierarchy who sent him out on loan to gain sufficient game time before returning back to the Emirates.

TheSuperNerd: Can I ask what Race  For a country like Ireland they may seem exceptional talent. I have my doubts about being good enough for Nigeria. Consider where the bulk of Republic of Ireland's players come from, what level they play at. and that tells a big part of the story. A word of caution as much as I highlight players of Nigerian origin playing in the UK a good percentage are technically deficient comparative to most Nigerian players. They are not comfortable on the ball the emphasis on pass and move, strength and sheer doggedness. Means they lack the guile, skill, and technique to fit into the Nigerian youth teams. Watched Liverpool vs Manchester United U18's play a 3-3 draw thus afternoon. Well drilled, disciplined and focused however, beyond that very little to make noise about. Not up to three players in both teams are technically gifted enough with the skill, panache, and technique to get into our U17's. However, there are still a lot of players of Nigerian origin with the guile, technical swagger and ability to make it, that you may not see in the bigger clubs. For a host of non footballing reasons. 1 Like |

He was brought in as a substitute on the dot of 90 minutes for his first professional game since turning professional in the summer.

Ipalibo joined the Yellow Submarines from Diamond Academy in Nigeria this summer, but he has taken to life in his new surrounding really well judging by his performances for the youth team. The Nigerian is highly rated by the club, and he could make the step up to the main team faster than earlier anticipated if he continues his steady rise in the youth team.
