🔵 Al-Hilal have been pushing for Victor #Osimhen for weeks, but no full agreement has been reached so far. He is seen as a key target to follow Simone Inzaghi.

Al-Hilal have now submitted an official bid to Napoli worth €70m in total, as reported by @FabrizioRomano and confirmed.

⚠️ However, Galatasaray are determined to sign him and are prepared to pay €15m net per year on a four-year deal. They are also ready to offer a transfer fee of €60–65m, as revealed.

My brother Isak isn't like Sadiq Umar oh, the guy looks lanky but during play he plays rugged and strong. And he is very technical.

With your preference for a Striker, it means Lukaku is your greatest 9? 🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lukaku good na

Napoleon55:
Correct.
Turkish league or not,Osimhen is easily in top 5 best center forward in Europe.

👊👊👊

TheSuperNerd:
Preference noted.

Isak I just dey see am like Sadiq Umar wey get better finishing

Osimhen and Gyokeres for me abeg 🤣🤣🤣

TheSuperNerd:
The rankings is based on the 2024/25 performances of the strikers World Wide and the ones in the Top 5 leagues are expected to be rated higher and more than anyone who did great too outside the Top 5 or top 6 leagues.

We can all see that as a world class striker, where you play matters if you are going to be reckoned with, still.

If Vic goes to Saudi Arabia, then it only gets worst. Money he will make and the twitter banger boys are urging him to go "grab the bag" meanwhile they dont want key players from their own clubs to leave for Saudi.

It is so sad really if he heads to Saudi at age 26. Prime year era. So sad.

Osimhen's decision this summer will further more show me if he listens to the influencers and banger boys who are all about the money or if he listens to those who truly wants his legacy to stand the test of times.

better explanation cus I knew the reason Vic had to be placed 12th is playing in the Turkish top flight

His likely destination as it stands now is the Saudi pro league unless he is willing to make a big sacrifice to remain in top flight european football by cutting down his wage demand

TheSuperNerd:
Gyokeres is not even Sweden's best striker. It is Isak although they play together now.

Isak is La Liga and EPL proven with goals to show and a major trophy against Champs of the best league in the world. Abeg, Isak is better than Gyokeres right now.

I prefer Gyokeres 😊

Sugarboyy:
Gyokeres is not better than Isak, Isak is better than him. Isak did well in laliga and doing same in the EPL. Osimhen has also done same in the French league and the Seria A. They are both ahead of Gyokeres

Isak is your preference while Gyokeres is mine

You have qualities which u admire in strikers likewise I myself

I love my strikers rugged, strong, pacy and big. A striker who can easily bully defenders and also has good hold up play just like Osimhen and Gyokeres

Isak is just like Sadiq Umar with good finishing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

damagnificentusb:
Do agree with ESPN's ranking of top strikers?. Victor Osimhen is ranked as the 12th best striker in the world

12th best striker in the world currently? That’s poor to osimhen’s standard

I believe the rating may be based on the fact he played in the Turkish top flight last season which isn’t considered to be tough when compared to the EPL,Laliga, Bundesliga and Serie A

To me the strikers ahead of Osimhen in the world currently are Haaland, Lewa, Mbappe and Kane

Gyokeres is in the same level with Osimhen while both are better than Isak

TheSuperNerd:
Moritz Jenz. His constant loan spells doesnt seem to have helped much in terms of stability although he is a physically imposing CB profile.

The positives with Jenz is his decent tackling and positioning skills in ground duels and close combat situations onfield. A strong presence at the back (thanks to his height and propensity to duel) and can also sometimes step out into the midfield area to snuff out danger before it gets close to goal.

He is also aggressive but his aggression-styled defending has both the good and the bad. The good is his aggression brings presence and sees him use his physicality to put off opposition attackers but the negative is that his aggression is overdone often times and leads to rash decisions and lots of fouls in dangerous areas in or around the box. This in particular is a bad trait coz it can turn against his own team

For instance,
Calvin Bassey is an impressive powerhouse of a CB but he doesnt commit fouls as often as Jenz. Bassey played 35 EPL games (started 34) in 24/25 season and averaged a fouls conceeded of 0.7 per game.
Jenz on the other hand hit 1.4 fouls conceeded per game from just 19 league games ooo (started 18).

So Jenz is more likely to give away fouls in dangerous areas. He needs to work on how to tackle with composure and keep his aggression from going overboard.

His other weaknesses are his recovery pace (not as good in recovery when taken on or beaten), his timing/game reading (his aggressiveness can make him commit too early to a tackle resulting in penalties or more fouls), his susceptibility to skilled forwards (he struggles heavily against skilled attackers able to get pass defenders with skills and pausa (Jenz's over aggresiveness is a flaw that makes this possible) and finally his decision making/tendency to rush into decisions due again to his tendency to aggressively react.

So that is it on Moritz Jenz, if you ask me, I would say Youngsters like Benjamin Fredericks and Vince Osuji edges him heavily in the Composure metric which is the biggest metric for me as a central defender.

we don’t need him, I would rather go for Uduokhai instead

That opportunity should be give to young stars like Fredricks (Brentford), Vince (Brugge), Buhari (Elfsborg) and Nwaiwu (Wolfsberger).

Have seen Jenz play for Celtic few seasons ago and he wasn’t fantastic but just an OK CB like what we already have in the team

Chibuike Godfrey Nwaiwu,former Enyimba Midfielder Outclassing opponents in Austria Bundesliga

German club Schalke 04 and French ligue 2 club FC lorient interested in Nigeria U20 midfielder Victor Eletu.

BankyGee:
Éric Chelle don dey invite boxers enter Super Eagles squad 😂

Beware of us o 😂

Olakunle he plays for Krasnodar in the Russian league.

BankyGee:
Ramsey Noah, what's going on o?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

yinkeys:
No KDB type of player here though
That’s what would complete the midfield

iwobi and Uche are enough for any good national team to strive

We mustn’t have KDB or Zizou type of midfielder to do well as a team

🚨 West Ham are close to signing Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika from Club Brugge for around £20m. The versatile 24-year-old is a top target amid interest from AC Milan, with his Premier League ambition boosting West Ham’s chances

zicky:
I'm only talking about similarity in their style, I'm not saying he's on Ashley Cole level just yet, just as some say Uche moves like Yaya.

ookay ❤️

zicky:
Bro no hype, I was so impressed with his play, same with Frederick. First thing I ask a guy sitting close to me was, who are this two guys,since I was not too familiar with their faces.

Agu did well no doubt bro but saying he reminds u of Ashley Cole too much my brother 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Na so many take hype Osayi after his decent outing against Portugal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gradually super eagles don get solid midfielders. Looking forward to Faustino joining soon mk we see wetin him fit offer the team 😊

Iwobi
Ndidi
Onyeka
Onyedika
Uche
Fisayo

zicky:
that guy is good, I'm seeing an Ashley Cole type of player.

hmmmmmmm after just 1 game? 😳

Mk una easy down for the hype abeg

Meliforme:
Elder Kog45, our long balls are now coming more from the midfield, I know Wilfred Ndidi has it, as well as Frank Onyeka, but they do not possess the creativity of Nwakali.

una don start again ooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mujtahida:

Goke7:

yinkeys:
Papa Daniel will be dropped
Unfortunately he doesn’t add anything to the team, he didn’t shine in this tournament
Dele Bashiru & Iwobi will maintain their spots
Can someone tell Chelle to seal all of that pipe leakage at the Right back and Right midfield position for good
We have been leaking a ton of goals from that end sense 2022

papa wetin and Sodiq no follow abeg 🤣🤣🤣

Mujtahida:
He is playing him so that he will not play him again, if you understand what I mean

Even I read that ATM are ready to pay 15m euros for him but Getafe wants 25m euros

lbrichman2:

lbrichman2:

Uche is good enough for clubs like Milan, inter, ATM, Napoli, Juve, Dortmund etc
