Southampton Target Onyekuru Makes Final Shortlist For Best African Player In Belgium




KAS Eupen Nigerian forward Henry Onyekuru made the final list of five for the prestigious Ebony Shoe Award in Belgium, which is given to the best player of African descent in the League.


Onyekuru has scored 18 goals this season, with 14 coming in the league for Eupen, in what is his first season in the top flight in Belgium, since graduating from the prestigious Aspire Academy in Qatar.

His fine form has led to interest from several teams around Europe with Southampton, the latest team to join in his chase, as exclusively reported by this football portal during the course of the week.


He faces competition from Zulte Waregem Senegalese star Mbaye Leye, Sofiane Hanni from Algeria who plays for Anderlecht, Landry Dimata of KV Oostende who is from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Belgium international who has Congolese roots Youri Tielemans and plays for Anderlecht .


The 19 year old is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Nigerian stars like former Chelsea ace Celestine Babayaro who won the award during his time at Anderlecht, as well as Daniel Amokachi who won it twice during his time at Club Brugge. Victor Ikpeba and Godwin Okpara are the other Nigerians who have won the award in the past.


Sofiane Hanni who is in the run for this year award, won the award last year during his time with KV Mechelen.

TheSuperNerd:
Ilechukwu Berates PFA XI Without Moses , Tips Ndidi To Make Future All - Star Team





Mountain of Fire and Miracles FC coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu, believes Super Eagles duo of Victor Moses and Wilfred Ndidi have been fantastic for Chelsea and Leicester City respectively this seaso, but understands why both Nigerians were not named in the PFA all-star team, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.


The Professional Footballers Association on Thursday named the PFA Team of the Season which consisted of four Chelsea and four Tottenham Hotspur players.
The list also has a Liverpool, Manchester United and an Everton player on it.

"I think Victor Moses and Wilfred Ndidi have done a good job for their clubs so far. But perhaps you could say there are players who deserved it more," Ilechukwu told Completesportsnigeria.com.


"Moses is not a natural defender. He was converted to a wing-back at Chelsea by Antonio Conte, while Ndidi only joined Leicester City in January. The season began in August 2016.

"Politics is everywhere. I may not talk or argue much about Ndidi, but Moses is supposed to be among them because he has been one of Chelsea's best players this season. But I'm sure they can make such a team in the near future especially Ndidi."


Arsenal's duo of Alexis Sanchez and Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic were conspicuously missing from the lineup despite their huge roles at their clubs.

Sanchez has scored 19 Premier League goals while
Ibrahimovic has scored 28 goals in his maiden season in England.


PFA TEAM OF THE SEASON

David De Gea (Manchester United)

Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur)

Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur)

David Luiz (Chelsea)

Gary Cahill (Chelsea)

N'golo Kante (Chelsea)

Dele Alli (Totenham)

Sadio Mane (Liverpool)

Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

Romelu Lukaku (Everton)

Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
